tricts Of Nevada coming into prominence
as bullion producers are those known a.
Bullion and Campbell Districts in Lander
county. Pleasantly situated on the banks
Of Indian creek, which flows from the
mountains rising On either side Of it, and
smpties into Crescent valley. where it
sinks, are springing into existence the two
little towns OF Bullion and Frisbie, the
latter being the Postofice town of the two
districts. During the Summer and Fall
just past thirty new buildings have been
erected for business places n dwellings,
on account of the prosperity and increas-
ing nature Of the surrounding mines.
Wood and water for fuel and steam are In
great abundance. In Bullion District,
which is separated from Campbell District
by Indian creek, the mines are we'll de-
fined and regular veins, bearing silver,
