in town, and few minutes couveF-
sation with DIR. Fawse.t will conyiuoe
any one that he is thoroughly verseti
in the science of mineralogy, and haa
unbounded faith in the richness Of
the Titusville mines.
The Gem Nickel mine is only about
six miles from this camp, and within
half mile of town lode called the
NICKEL MINE
has lately been discovered, which
seems to be fully as rich in nickel, nil-
YER. and gold as the Gem.
The prospectors who have fuoAeu4
the Tifusyille minea, are neeH3y ~
'sold timers" in mining campo and
men whose Judgement can be relied
upon. Mr.. C. N. Hawk one OF tho
discoverers of the
LOOKOUT MINE
has had many years experience in Ati<
zona, New Mexico, Colorado and 9TH
er mining states and territories The
Lookout has fifteen foot vein Of yell
low -colored gold bearing ore. The
average mill run from this mine has
been thirty-six dollars in goli and
five oucces in silver, while some OF
the assays have run up into hundreds
of dollars in gold. The mime which
has had the largest assay in camp 10

The assays from this mine have run
up as high as five thousand dollars in
gold, while q mill-run from an extern
sion OF the same vein is said TO have
yielded s., 200 in gold at Hills works
in Denver. Near. the Lookout ard
Black Warrior is the
LITTLE TRoT
also a rich gold bearing lead. This 10
also a very large lead easily mined
and promises TO become q very vslu-
able mine. About two miles further
west and situated on the same lead Is
the
MONARCH OF THE MOUNTAINS
discovered by Thomas Jaggera . pros-
pector of fifteen years experience.
This is also a gold bearing lode Of
large extent and easily worked
Near the Monarch is the Wild Bill
W hich is said to mill-run fifty doll1rs
in gold. The least assay ever obtain
ed from the Monarch is said to have
been scventy-five dollars In gold. The
mines mentioned are only few of
the rich mines of the camp. Among
the others the Bonanza, said to DO
very rich in gold, the Big Coon, Goi-
den Chain, Triumph, Big Elephant
and many others which we did not
have time to visit. The Lookout,

and from California Gulch TO San

ono Of the richest camps in Colorado.
Among other prominent men Of tho
camp are w. E. Martin and Mr..
Heu:home, who like every one elso
we saw have the most unbounded
in ritusville becoming the
greatest gold producing camp in the
state. Mr.Guillem, the Potlick boys
Joseph Graetcr, MIR. Grey and Ar.
Babcock are few of those largely In
terested in mines here, We were as-
surcd that when the prospcctors and
mine owners interested here, who arc
coming to live in Titnsvillc arrivcs
that the camp will have voting POP
ulation of near five hundred.
In conclusion, we will say to xll In.

writing, the mountains of gold bear

and reliable men attest the
