 EDITOR CITIZEN: As you have not had any items from here lately, will give you few iottings. This camp has i'm proved considerably lately, ss there have been several promising discoveries made, some of which Sill mention.
 The Uncle George mine, near the old Trench mine, discovered year ago by Uncle George Norton, and recently sold to Messrs. Cook, Darrow, Norton and Meyers, four enterprlsing gentlemen from Denver, Colorado, for the snug sum of twenty-two thousand dollars. Messrs. Norton. Darrow and Meyers are here now developing their bonanza with a vim-workIng three shifts of men sinking a working shaft, and will m few days stat dntt on the fifty-foot level. Thisis considered one of the best discoveries ever made 10 this camp, and no one envies Uncle George, as he iolled hard since he discovered the claim try ing to develop what he called his bo- nsnzs. and always confident that he would realize enough out of 1t to help him in hIs old age. Now, instead of seeing Uncle George come to town every evening so tired that he could scarcely move we saw him in town all day sp- bearing as pert as boy and looking at least fifty years younger than he did six months ago.
