THE KEMBLE DISTRICT,
The New Mining Town at Steins'.
 Peak, Christened Evansville.

As our citizens are very much inr terested in tbe new mining excite ment at Slein's Peak, we clip the fol- lowing descriptlon from the Lords burg Advance:
 MesGrs, Smith. Newman < Rem ble have sold the Beck mine at steins Peak for $75,0o0:I Those gentlemen deserve great credit. for the practical and business manner in which they have developed their splendid proper E, and aided in the opening up of the entire district, : They encouraged prospectors, advising them to yisit this section. The big ledge was dis covered within mile and half of the Beck mine and those gentlemen have secured the property the Volcan ic and Pochontas mines, which are the best developed as well as tke richest and most extensive ore bodies yet discovered in the county. The ore bodies in the Volcano mines is now 18ft thick and they have not reached the wall yet. The ledge crops out and is located for 3 miles.
 The next claim north of the Vol cano mine is the Sister Martha mine, and is owned by Hughes, Munches & Kellum. This is also fine strong aud rich mine and is joined by tae John Smith mine which is the prop erty of James Dolan and Owen Will Hams, and is valuable property. It is a difficult task to give description of the different properties in this camp; because it is surprise to every body to find such a thing with a few miles of the railroad, and in most accessible section of the mountains but while miners passed over the ledge and missed it, it is in the hands of good men at present, because more manly intelligent and hearty set of men, than the miners of Kem- ble district don't often strike it rich. Wash Evans who is chief among the boys on the big ledge, is man of 30 years experience in mining was in the business while q boy of sixteeh with his father in the state of Geor- gia. The town-site is called after Wash. and will soon be known as the booming Gown of Evansville. J. W. Munches is also interested in the Vol canoes ; well as ill the M1fthGSand is a gentleman of intelligence, and energy and will start machine to bore for water in Evansville in few weeks. MeSsrs. Morris, Work and Weir have good property in the district, and sev-. eral other men but they have not done enough of development to determine the value of their claims.
 It is safe to assert that all who own property in the vicinity of the big ledge will make money, because it is not possible to keep this camp from being the most extensive in either territory. The miners certainly selec : ed 2 nice gentleman after whom to name their town. There is no winter man living than Wash Evans. .
