SILVER DISTRICT
An Interesting and Exhaustive Description of the Mines of this Section.

Few people who have not grown up in 1.-the business and made it a study, have any idea of the m; gnit de of our Te ri 1, ,torial mining interest. Its development has been so rapid that even the closest students of that particular line of industry have had great difficulty in keeping up with it the past few years, It is not necessary to study the pages of ancient history to find out when
 THE ABORIGINAL INHABITANTS 'of this vast region gave way before the smarch of civilization and relinquished DO session to the master race. It can be Ilearned in the newspapers of this growing generation today, and the. story has not all been told. IL is serial and there: ,are many interesting chapters to followI lfor the primitive settlers have not all ;Ieft the country, though we have no. .doubt should they dare molest the mining 'camps, so swift and sure will be the rel ,tributive blow, that the strong arm of :he miner will be a source of dre ad to them flor all time to come. That old adage, I''It is an ill wind that blows nobody good' lis perfectly exemplifed in Silver District, in that, our sterile surroundings possess mo charms for" MT. Lo." No cattle grazei on our barren mountains and the incen- tive stimulus being wanting,
 WE ARE NOT MoLEsTED.
 (Which brings Us to oIr subject matter" :" sanu the readers attention to the advan- itages of Silver District in general; and in this hastily constructed report let these facts be kept before you and nothing will be stated that IS not susceptible of proof. There is positively not one ledge in this district running athwart the country for nation. The ore channels, of which { there are four, VIZ: the Silent Schannel, winch is the extreme west, Ednd nearest the river, from which it is distant four miles; the Princess channel, one mile easterly; the Long or nine mile channel, to the east one-half mile; and s the New York channel, extreme east, dis 5 tant one half mile, grand average over !: all of two miles. And
 THIS SYSTEM
 Bear in mind has r, gular and parallel trend northwesterly and southeasterly, saccompanied by huge granite mountain 2 ranges, which form the foot walls, and the Flow country between these huge dikes 3 sand separating them is of porphyry and constitute the hanging walls. The crop pings of volcanic trap, overlyIng the
 | lodges, is of the most massive character ;; being in width from 20 to POO feet and Blooming up in many instances 160 feet in 9height. The Line mile channel has aH ; gunbrokcn body of huge cropping> fol snine miles in length; and win d few ssibreaks, (but net one blind lodc), has 8!
 < ilocations on this one channel.
