A thorough overhauling of the ma

A New District TO the Front.

From w. c. Love, Esq, who re-
turned a few days ago from a trip
through the Schell Creek range, We
learn that the Monitor mine at Taylor
District is looking fine. The mill at
Steptoe Creek was started up last
week and was doing gool work. At
the mine there is plentyof ore to keep
the mill running for months, and
they have a large reserve TO fall back
on. Monday morning they took out
their first bar of bullion weighing
l,O20 Clio unces valued at 81 .2O4 "A.
The ore worked up to So per cent.
and the bullion was 9l3 fine. Other
bars will follow in rapid succession
Mr.. Love tells US he has seen no more
favorable mining property in this
end of the State than the Monitor, AMI
he considers the chances for its own
Messrs. LIONS, Briggs and Nc
Gill-for realizing snug fortunes al
mos. a certainty. These gentlemen
are all pioneers of this county, and 1t
gives us pleasure-as it doubtless
will hosts of other friends-to learn
that they ire on the high road to for
tune.

The mining outlook in all sections
OF our county is very encouraging at
this time. From every mining camp
around us comes news Of the most en-
c%ouraging nature. Ward, which for
the past year or two. has been under
Il heavy cloud, promises ut an early
day 20 again resume bullion ship
ments on "A permanent scale. Taylor
District has already wheeled into line
and last Monday shipped It's frs. bar.
IL bids fair to keep On shipping the
shining metal for months 10 come.
Silver Canon and our own district are
regular shippers of the precious met
ais. Egan Canon is getting ready to
join in the ehorus of the stamps and
IN about two months will be ready to
join her sister camps in shipping bull
lion. White Pine, we regret TO note,
is the only district In our county that
docs not to-day show improved signs
OF prosperity in a mining point of
view. With this solitary exception,
there is a general movement for the
better all along the line of the mining
camps in While Pine county. We
are pleased to note it.

Not the Kind of Man We Took Him
For.


Edward Johnson writes the NEws a lengthy
letter, in support Of his assertion in a COM
munication to the Sentinel, that this was the
worse camp in the State for a working MN
to find EN- ployment. He says he is no whisky
hummer; has not tasted a drop of strong
liquorfo for three years; never visits saloons;
is II good miner and millman, but cannot get
employment at either. We admit that his
case is sing ular one. There is such a thing
as a man being too good to prosper in this
section of the county. Either that. or Mr.
johnson is a very poor rustlcr. 1t was only
in the middle of last week that a dozen min
es were laid off ut Egan, and Monday morn
ing a Stage load Of them went out to Silver
Canyon, under engagement to work. Now
this does not look as if good miners were
subjected to long periods of enforced idleness
here. We still insist that Cherry Creek and
the surrounding camps are not the hard places
for working men Mr.. Jonnson would make
the outside world believe, aud we would al
vice him TO emigrate to some other section.
whore his upright ways aud superior skill
might ind better appreciation.
