TIMBER MOUNTAIN DISTRICT. Some
prospectors arrived yesterday from the
south. They report they found one SOL
itary miner in Timber Mountain district,
in the extreme southeastern part of
Lincoln county. The ores there are of
very low grade, but the veins are of i'm
mense extent, and that section must,
some time in the future, prove of great
Importance for lead production. if not
for silver. Our informants think enough
OF that section to be making arrange
ments to return at an early day. They
say they found some very rich float rock
in the country west of Timber Mountain,
and they have high hopes of striking it
rich on their return.
