At present but little Of importance il
being done in Morey. Her Inhabitants
have dwindled to q couple Of men, one
woman and two or three children. Angus
Macarthur has charge OF the Morey 8. N.
Company's properties. He thinks the
chances good for the camp starting up
again this coming Summer. The Mag
nolia mine is looking as we'll as 1t ever did,
and there is no visible reason why work
upon it should not soon be resumed. The
American Eagle, Monetary and Keyser
properties need capital and ~judicious man
agement to present good showings. At
any rate, the indications would seem to
warrant developments. A small outlay Of
capital prudently expended would Id time
be handsomely returned. This camp is
the center Of mail communication for
miles around. Fish Lake Valley, Duck
water, Currant Greek and ranches situated
in the surrounding country receive their
mails from this point. A movement ID now on
foot to obtain . mail service between
Morey and Fish Lake Valley. The people
residing in the latter district are in every
way entitled to . Postofice, and ask nc
more than they deserve. The distance Ia
but 80 miles, and the residents would be
well satisfied with receiving their mail
weekly.

inadequate TO the requirements, and, as q
result, the works were closed and the men
