CLIPPED AND CONDENSED.

The Panamint News of the 18th says:
The first installment Of coin for the
Lookout mines, as agreed between j. j.
Dolan and the several owners from
whom he purchased a short time ago,
was paid over to the parties last Friday.
The property consists Of the Mountain
View, Keystone and Minnie Etty, all Of
which present, on the surface, evidences
of being good mines. The groupings are
large and can be traced for several hnn-
bred feet. The ore ia argentiferous, and
from nine assays made the average is
| $40 per ton, the highest being 81, 100.
Mr.. Dolan has taken charge Of the prop
erty, and last Monday shipped over men,
tools and provisions to commence opera
tons. George Hearst has consummated
his purchase Of four mines in the same
district-the Lookout, Confidence. and
two others names not reported. These
mines are in the immediate vicinity of
Mr.. Dolan's, the ores being of the same
character. They are Of easy access from
Panamint Valley, and the ores could be
delivered at the contemplated works Of
Mr.. Eels, on this side of the valley. at q
low cost. az the distance is but sixteen
miles, and II is either a down-grade or
level road nearly oil the way. Mr..
Hearst, however, is building trail from
his mines to Darwin, distance of ten
miles, over q very rough country. This,
we presume, is for the purpose of more
: intimately connecting his Lookout with
that Of his Darwin property. MIR. Elsie.
OF San Francisco, has also purchased the
Minute Gun and some other locations in
Lookout District. We think this dis
= trict is looking up very rapidly since its
discovery, few months ago.
