Bartlesons Ida Ingalls camp Just ID time 10 partake of |" bang-up" dinner with that gentleman, after which We spent a good portion of the afternoon in looking at the various rich pros poets in the neIghbOrhuod. The Ida Ingalls, is indeed a mine worth visit iog. IL has two nearly parallel iedges, and 200 feet from the northeast end of the claim shaft was sunk 100 sect between the two lodges, with the In- tentlOn 10 cross-cut for each. The crOss-cut tO the main vein showed 2l feet of ledge matter enclosed in per feet walls, but ac thIs point work had tO be discontinued on account of tue flow of water. ca the second or south vein, 800 feet norihwes: of the work ing shaft, is an incline to the depth of 40 feet, at the bottom of which the vein shows to be fully seven feet wide A short distance lower on the hill tunnel has been started to tap the smaller vein, and is now in 65 feet In this whole neighborhood the char acter Of the ore, above the water level, is coppcr-silver glance, with peacock ore, while below the water level the ore inyariahly changes to white quartz carrying more galena. That it Is rich may bs seen when two tons of Ida Ingalls, orc were concentrated at the Silver King mill, for test. and paid $3GJ per ton. Ot course this is above the average, az the ore was picked. Still the rock has has uui- formity which warrants the placing of 8 high average o1 it's yalue-say Si5 per ton from wall to wall-which would show thai Mir BarIleson and his partner, Robert Bowen, may be congratulated un owning an iucipient bonanza.
 The Monitor is another of the claims on the Ida Ingalls ledge, and is very fine showing. It belongs to Haley, Pnclps, Mckenzie aud NcAl len. who rra tuauel nn the veia for 1S) feet, and then connected it with . 7ofoot air shaft. At this poiat th y, loo, were driven out by water, bat they have enough work dDue t1 show thI, they have q valuable mine. The ore here is of the same character as the Ida IpggHs.
 Superintendent Mason, uf the Silver King, has a very promising claim on still another parallel location in this camp, which he ctlls Ihe Grea. Re public. I olght peraaps to say two other parallel Vt Is, for tle are TWO very fair looking ones on the claim, which, however, are di ping together, aad will probably be ioand to be tLe same when the present 25 tooI shaft Is sunk a li:lIe dee rr.
 uaviog no time 10 look further amouy the neish5Oring prospects, l pushed on three miies to Colonel Dul- ley IoyI's camp aJ the piice where the Mineral Creek Company are put ting up a most complete iive-stamP mill, under the supervision of Nc. Kilblry, who made such success of the silver Mug set miii. To this ey- creIingly pretty little camp he boy lalgLiAgly declIref l brought bad luck. For scarcely had we got seated at the supper table in the open air Gh. ium for the boarding hOIse has not yet arriYed) when a thInder shower drove Us to the shelter of the neat army tens which : IperiHtendent Hoyt has provided for his men. Then down the gulch came a head Os water, from what was supposed 10 be cloud burst furJIer up in tue hills, which for short time threatened to sAeep everything before it. Boots, blankets, can,ines, vaiises-eyerything, in fact, which was not sns;ched up iu a hur-
 ry-fua,ed gallently down the surg
 ing, muddy sueam, and for a time the whole camp looked like a wreckius party. The wa'er subsided R. rapidly a., it rose, amt In d short time the oc- . cupauis of the tents hdl hunted the driest places for their nights rest which could be found, amidst mer-
 riment which robbed the temporary calamity of much of is annoyance.
