Bull RUS DIsTRICT.-This camp was dis
covered and first worked by men more anxious
TO prove up the value of their claims than to
have the newspapers do II for them. This
Summer the real value of that mining district
has been made apparent to the satisfaction of
all who have had an opportunity of examining
the rock and claims for themselves. We have
seen many people who have visited Bull Run,
but have yet to see the first one who has left
it with other than feelings of satisfaction. 1t
is undoubtedly one of the best camps in the
State OF Nevada. The new town has been
laid out i'll the canyon below the principal
mines and quite business has been done IN
disposing of lots. There is good reason to
believe that in another year a large and -four
ishing town will make ITS appearance there.
The Porter ledge is already famous, and de-
servedly 30. The company are taking out ore
and piling it up, though considerable quaint
ties have been shipped To the lower country
to be worked. Sevcnty-tive sacks Of ore went
down last week. The Potosi and Montana
are attracting attention. There is now abou;
200 men in the camp, and increasing in num-
bers every day. The range in which the dis
trict is situated is high and snow-crowned
the climate cool and pleasant in Summer
water cold and invgoratlng. Pleasant valleys
surround IL on the east and west, uneXoelled
by any country for grazing purposes. Alto
gether the prospects Of Bull Run are unsur-
PASSED 10y any district i'll the State.
