 Dos CABEsAs, October II.
 rn,ron CITIZEN: Tn my last letter
 sou make me say that the mountain
 was one and half mics long snd one
 mile wlde. Now as there arc over taree miles of locations along ihe mountain on The mother vein, you
 Eil have in add few more miles tO he mountain The town IS steadily iurrovinr. new faces are making their an1c9raDce every day. Quite a num-
 Der ut miriuE experts and mouitd men have bern examining our mine
 forthe past few weeks, with favorable rssrlt. understand that one Of the ,aiues au the East end of the mother lode hos been sold for a good price and tNo others have been bonded. There arc some valuable properties here. Jack Hayward has a scven-tOO, vein or god ore that will average $40 per ton. T. lies high up on the moun- .ain above C0Oper's Canyon.
 The Goldsmith Company Douglass, Green X Co. cf San Francisco, have B mine ai -he west end of town. The vein at 12 feet deep is l6 inches wide, and shows high-grade ore gong sj0 in gold and S40In silver. The vein continues 10 widen ss they go down. and the ore gets better.
 The town iS improving. A number Lf our citizens have material on their io,s and are preparing 70 build. The town has been all staked out for lots, and the citizens are going to apply for a townsite Nearly every available piece of ground that would do to erect :. miil on has been located. Mir. George GosS. formerly of Utah, and If large mill experience, one Oi our most cntcrprising citizens, has nearly zll jhe machinery on the ground for a tcu-slamp mil, and hes power for forty slamps more. The grading Is all done. and he is now laying the foundation fOsihe engine and battery. He claims he v-ill have it crushing ore bv the 7jh of November
 1 understand the Cincinnati Com pany will wait tor the Southern Pa cifc ard A.chison. Topeka and Santa Fe railroads 10 form q junction, and asill ship their machinery through by The New Mexico route 10 Wilcox.
 l thrce-iOOt yeIn Of gold snd silver quartz was discovered on the 20th of last month. II prospects well in gold and silver. It is close 10 town and is called the Pepper Sisters lode and Hattie A B. Company, and looks ss if it would make a good mine.
 Miners have gone to work ia earn est on the Silver Camp mines, six miles from town, to get out chloride ore for the min. There are q number of locations belonging to Bennett, McGTegor, Hart and Casey. The veins are small, from 6 to IS inches wide, but they are very rich. They gre in cyenide, and are easily worked.
 The Wood Camp gold mines are tuning out well The Detroit. the Rouse, and a mine owned and worked by Messrs. Murphy and Company, gre paving in aTrastras from $50 10 S100 per ton Stanley C. Bagg has fine location on the same ledge which shows we'll in gold. also Mir Lsndson.
 Mr. DeLOng. Of the Silver Cave mine, has arrived to look after his in- teTest ID the company, and there is a fair prospect that the work of develop ment will not be delayed The New York Company, on the East side of Wood Camp and above BaCg & Co.'S rich arcenuferous galena lode, have struck a fine body of ore in the tunnel of gold, silver and galena.
 We are having a cold wind and rain today which 1 fear will damage the hay and grass very much.
 Messrs. Davis and Cummings while out prospecting on Thursday last, dis covered an unknown man dead be- tween the Apache Springs and town. His back and arms had been eaten up by the cayOies. The citizens turned out and buried him where they found him as his body was too much de composed 10 move tn the buriel ground.
 We are for Stewart here, and you zan gamble on it. During his visit lt this camp he made friends right | and left. and when the miners say hey are his friends they mean it. The best of it is be will get a good many Democratic votes here. It is just as you told us in the CITIZEN at l he commencement Of the campaign that all that was necessary Co elect | Hon. NJ. ". Stewart was for the peO- pie 10 meet him personally. There l was not a man in all this camp who l did not feel as though in meeting NIT. Stewart he was meeting gentleman, a good, honest. true. American gen .leman. Mr. Oury has many friends here, who respect him highly, but when it comes down to e comparison of tho two candidates they all feel that Stewart is The best man for the I position.
 am in hopes 10 give you in my next some very interesting items from he camp. B. W. C.
