MINES OF HERRY CREEK.
In view OF the past prosperity and
acknowledged extent and richness Of
the district, the camp was found To
be exceedingly dull. No time can be
given 10 econnt the causes. The
difficulties IN the way of renewed life
aud activity are by noineans insur-
m%ountable, and a revival OF business
may TAX place any day.
There are here what is known as
upper and lower belts the latter
three miles in length.
The upper ledge il a contact vein
between lime and shale, raceable for
five miles. The principal mines on
this are the Ti-Cup, Bob-tail, Rob
Roy and the Chance. South OF the
Ti-Cnp are the Bohemian Girl, the
Blacksmith, Steptoe and others. The
ore Is Tree milling, and much of il
has run as high as from 800 to $500
per ton, and work ed up to 95 per cent.
The Ti-Cup. which is now the prop
erty of Spencer & Frank, has paid in
the neiehborhood of "A million dollars.
The Bob Roy, worked at present by
Messrs. Taylor, Curtis and Stockle, Is
producing ore worth from $50 to 500.
THE LowER BELT
Consists of a series of true assure
veins, cutting the formation from
at 10 west. The ore as a rule Is re-
fractory, needing roating.
Tie most extensively worked mine
is the Star, which has produced over
81 SOC, 900, but is now lying idle.
