Back From the Bannock.

Messrs. Thomas W. Jennings and Henry Dinwoodey have returned from their visit to the old Bannock property. Asked as to the outlook for future operations, Mr. Jennings gave every evidence of a great lack of faith. "We have," he said, "a fine mill, a perfect beauty, and it is lighted throughout with a perfect electric light system, but there is no ore with which to run it, produced either in Era or in other portions of Idaho. Mining in Idaho everywhere is dull, and what they call great mines in that section would scarcely be looked at a second time by a Utah mining man. Large numbers of Salt Lakers who have invested heavily in Idaho mining schemes would have done much better to have employed their capital in developing prospects much nearer at home."
