spar; country rock, syenlte and DOT phyry, while occasionally basalt boulder is seen. Water was struck at the depth of fifty feet and about 220 gallons percolates into the shaft during every twenty-four hours. The owners of the mine Are T. E. Will Hams, Q. D. Reppy, s. Hughes, and R. R. Richardson.
 PENNSYLVANIA.
 First extension west has shaft 15 feet, with good prospects.
 Second and third extensions west have both croppings, but as yet nothing has been done to develop them.
 First extension east, owned by c. E. Harlow, has a 19.foot shaft and shows good ore, but ground broken and ledge not so we'll defined as in Bullion.
 ELLINGTON.
 Next. claim west on the Bullion ledge, owned by Sutton & Stockton, of Harshaw, has shaft down eighty feet, in an all-pay ledge seven feet in width; estimated value of ore on dump, $50 to $40 per ton.
 EMMA,
 the oldest location in the camp, is on the second ledge north, running parallel with the Bullion ledge, and has shaft AZ feet in the reef down along the hanging wall. The ledge is 12 feet wide on the surface and the foot.wall is nowhere visible in the shaft. There are 150 tons, more
 or less, of $60 free milling ore on the dump, and from the appearance
 of the ledge, both on the surface and
 in the shaft, thousands of tons of
 like ore can be mined at minimum
 cost. Messrs. Williams, Reppy,
 Hughes and Richardson own the
 same.
 lies northeast of the Emma. A cut
 into the bank above the creek, where
 the ledge is exposed, a cut 4xl0, has
 been made, and from this cut a shaft
 IS down 15 feet on a 4-foot ledge,
 assays from which approximate $9s
 per ton. Williams & Brown claim
 the property.
 GENERAL.
 Besides those named there are a
 least twenty others (for want of time did not see) in the immediate neighborhood where prospects have been obtained, and where, it is req sonable to hope, paying mines will bt developed. One mile and half or the creek below lies the Rupert yielding ore valued at from $20O tc $500 per ton. Five miles beloy ; Messrs. Bragg & Mansfield have ricl mines with development work nov being done. Five miles below tw' , gold bearing lodges are being worke' : and If half that is said of them b } true the future will come loaded b, i millions to the all-confdent owners ) Six miles down and you strike tn r copper claims owned by Messrs Hughes and Lyons and recent T bonded by Messrs. Wales and Nor gan of the Total Wreck for perio' T of ninety days. Further on othe claims have been monumented, and r am reliably told that there are !, least 100 lodges boldly cropping O ,, the banks of Temporal gulch, ant g from my own observations am COT : vinced that in some of them will b d found mines of great value both al 't gentiferous and auriferous. r The question most agitating tn
 minds of those here, is how shall tn n ore be disposed of so as to ensure tn n most profitable and speedy returns > It is estimated that good wago Il road can be constructed from th l, mines at the head of the gulch, b g way of the left fork of Casa Blanc e canyon, to connect with the A. T. 7; s. F. railroad at Casa Blanca, distaI IS five and a half miles, for say $4OO 'r Others advocate the building of r. road down Temporal to the Sonoit e ten miles distant, where it is vel a probable reduction works will y erected fer the purpose of doing GU n tom work, an unlimited supply l. which would certainly be forthcomin d were such works available. IT n. cost of this proposed road would D. in the neighborhood of sl2,0oo. St 1T third party urges the building of 's smelter and crushing pow e in the gulch contiguous ,r the mines, where abundan '- of wood and water is to be had f. Is all requirements. The first prop IT sitiou is good one as applied to u e Bullion and other claims at the he. y of the gulch, as they alone would le benefited by ..it; the road would n n be available and of no use whatev i'd to the claims on the intermedia t. and lower gulch. The third prop IT sition is not tenable for the reas' t, that the water supply, to say ' IS least of it, cannot be relied upon ty all times, while twe-years' run ol If 3O-ton furnace would exhaust all lg wood now standing in the nelghbt ia hood.
