THE MINING OUTLOOK,

The hopes and expectations of many
in relation to the future of our camp are
in fair way to be more than realized.
The encouraging aspect of things in gen.
eral may be taken as fair exponent of
the present favorable indications, and
serve as guarantee of future prosperity.
During the last few weeks many old-tim-
ers, who wandered away in search of false
gods, have seen the error of their ways
and returned to the fold, one and oil ex-
pressing their pleasure at striking Phoebe
again. During the month OF June, Wells,
Fargo x Co. alone have shipped over
S145, 900 worth of bullion, and the ag-
gregate of the present month will make
a still better showing. But few changes
of special interest have taken place since
our last report, but the general indica-
lions of the different mines are satisfac-
tory. Professor Stewart, in his pro-
longed visit, expressed his decided
conviction of the existence of a belt OF
ore OF no common magnitude, and backed
his opinion by the location of claim,
which be proposes to work Immediately.
Below will be found the principal points
OF interest as developed in our mines
since our last report;
RAYMOND & ELy.--The normal conai.
ton of this mine is unchanged. A little
