Good Country for Prospeetors.

Mr.. A. N. Hull, who paid u visit to
the Elk Horn country last Sunday, liz
forms US that no prospecting of any
extent has been done in that section,
although Indications show that there
are rich mines there. We have al
ways argued that the country from
the Elk Horn to Summit Flat is a
good one for prospectors, and we
think that future developments will
show that we were correct.
