Gulch large amount of development
work has been done, which shows 1t to
be one of the richest districts in the

Kingston, an almost unknown district,
has in a short time become familiar
throughout the United States. 1t has
furnished large amounts of exceedingly
rich float, and the vein from whence
this float came has been discovered in
the Solitaire and Brilliant. Consider
able rich ore has besn shipped from the
Bullion mine. A rich strike was recent
ly maden the Superior mine.and Others
have been made IN VARIOUS properties
situated upon the same contact and ex-
tending for several miles. Much de.
velopment has been done and many
properties have changed hands at good
prices. In the Steeple Rock district a
twenty stamp mill is nearly completed.
and one of the most promising mines in
the territory is being worked. Property
in the Telegraph district has been sold
to n. X. Fairbanks and others of Chi
