Groom District.

One of the county officers has, in the
course of his official duties. had occas
to visit the southern portion of the
county. and among other places, visited
Groom District, lying about $50 miles to
the southeast of this place. He was very
favorably impressed with the appearance
of the district of which he favored US
with the following memoranda, which
we are sure will be read with interest by
our citizens. He says:
On my return from the south visited
q new camp, known as Groom District
Here I found an old friend and mines of
galena OF a greater magnitude than any
I had ever dreamed of. The mines are
Graded between two lofty crests of
quartzite and covered by sparry lime
stone, which seems cap only, and the
only limestone in the vicinity-the coun-
try being porphyry and slate. Dig any
where along the vein, which is nearly
200 feet wide, and you find the mineral.
1t seems to have been spread out and
nodded into the shape of the assures in
the surface rock. There are numerous
openings all showing the galena. Two
shafts are now down 10 feet each with
an air connection between them. Lew
els run at 60 feet cut massive streams
or runs of lead. The Goblin shaft,
7Hx61a feet, cuts across o nearly verticle
vein of A feet in thickness and the
magnitude of ore seems unlimited. Since
the LIST of January 1900 tons have been
raised from the "Goblin and Make
Peace" shafts, worth in silver say $50
IN he
future OF camp with such ores can moi
be questioned. I understand that an
English company is interested, and the
mines under the management of Mr.. J
b. Osborn, are to be worked with ener
gy. Already plans. machinery, men ant
teams are on the way to build furnaces
and by September we may look for
mining camp to spring up of great inter
est to the county, and soon to become
rival to even Eureka, with all its admit
ted wealth and resources.
The town site will be called Naguintah
which is also the name of the mountain
in which the mines are situate. Pioch
is, or should be from its position, tn
proper source of supplies for thes
mines. Will our merchants take advant
age of what lies at their very doors? w
shall see. R.
