county appear 10 DE IN very prosper
Gus condition. Reliable reports from
almost every mining camp indicate that
in the near future our mines will be
second to none in the State. New dis
coveries are being made almost daily
in the mountains surrounding Paradise
Valley, and where less than two years
ago no mines of value were known to
exist, to-day there are prosperous min,
ing camps and productive mines. There
are now three prosperous districts in
the Paradise mines. Mount Rose
which boasts of at least half dozen
partially developed and productive
mines and perhaps twenty promising,
but as yet undeveloped prospects,
Congo, the new district recently dis.
covered six miles west of Paradise vii
lage, and the Hot Springs mines, twelve
miles west of that place, which have
Just been fouMR.
Next comes Rebel Creek District
which year ago was considered of no
value except for the scant pasturage it
afforded. Last Spring the Ohio mine
was accidently discovered in that range.
The Ohio is proving to be one OF the
best mines in the country and ship
ments Of ore FROM the groupings of the
ledge have more than paid all the ex-
penses incurred in developing it. Other
mines were discovered in the vicinity of
the Ohio and district was organized
which bids fair to become lively min
ing camp
| There is also mining revival in sew
eral of the old districts, caused by new
discoveries and the development of old
locations. In Gold Run, south of Col
conda, large bodies OF ore have been
developed, and all that is necessary to-
make them productive, is reduction
works.
| In Dun Glen, the Lang Syne mine,
which was discovered in 1868, ami for
years considered valueless, is now sup
plying with small expenditure of
labor ten-stamp mill with paying ore;
and the Royal Eagle, discovered short
distance from the Lang Syne recently,
is said to be capable of supplying
twenty stamp mill with paying ore.
Other mines are also being prospected
in the vicinity, and shipments of ore
made from them occasionally pay their
owners for the labor expended.
In Central a good many miners are
at work. and all have good prospects.
The only means of reducing ore in the
district, is a hand mill, yet, from that
aud ore shipments to Utah and San
Francisco, the bullion product Of the
camp amounts to considerable, and
could be greatly increased il there We're
facilities forreducing the ore.
At Unionville, the Arizona continues
to produce its usual quantity Of bullion,
while tine old Anderson and Leroy,
both of which have been, partially
| Abandoned for years, are proving to be
richer than the most sangnine antici-
pated.
In Indian District, New York COM
panies are at work onFthe Black Hawk
and Eagle mines. A fifteen-stamp mill
is now reducing ore from the Eagle sue
cessfully, and the mine is said TO be
looking as we'll an could be reasonably
desired.
At Rye, Patch mining is partially
suspended I'M the obi claims, in oonse-
quence Of litigation; but new diseov-
cries have been made which are said to
excel in richness anything heretofore
found in the district 1t is expected
that work will shortly be resumed OH
the Alpha and Rye Patch mines, and that
tire district will again be as lively
as it ever was.
In San Jaciato District west of Rye
Patch. large bodies of paying ore have
been Developed and mill is being
built ON the river to reduce them.
Taken altogether the mining out
look is bright, and it may be reasonably
expected that within year Humboldt
will rank among the largest bullion
nrndnninot cnnnties in the Stata east of
