Their operations will materially aid
every industry in the eastern portion
of the county.
AURUM.
The Davis g. Sanford property al
this place has been bnllion produc-
Ing and paying property for ,everal
years. The owners-Simon Davis
and Ben Sanford-have been ship
ping their rich ore to Salt Lake and
storing their lower grade at the mine.
Ii the property, which has shown it
self to be valuable, is not sold, the
owners will put up mill themselves.
RUBY HILL.
Several men have been working In
this camp all winter on very favora BILE
prospects. Mr.. B. Williamson in
forms that it is pretty certain that the
Boston legatees of the Brooks estate
will also operate on Ruby Hill. this
summer.
CHERRY CREEK,
Which in the past seven years,
through the ma lpractice of her mining
doctors, has received more black eyes
and foul "under the belt" blows than
fighter in q prize-ring, is manfully
battling the odds against her, and
though recently sent to grass" by a
legal knockout, her people write us
she will come TO the "seratchn again
in the spring and renew the struggle
with brighter prospects of success.
Cherry has by far the best defined
mineral lodges of any camp In the
county.
AROUND HAMILTON,
In White Pine Mining District, no
corporate work is now going on, nor
do we hear of any likely to resume
operations there the coming season,
but the old standby prospectors ofthe
district, who have never faltered In
their faith In the camp, are doing q
good deal OF chloriding and shipping
rich ore for reduction. These are the
men who are keeping the embers of
hope burning in the old camp still.
AT WARD
The Martin White have q few men
prospecting their mines, with what
result we have not learned. but II
they find anything good the force will
be increased in the spring.
So, looking around from this center
of observation, we see fair hope OF a
revival of our mining industry In
every camp in the county.
stock and Ranch Interests.
Notwithstanding the long and Sc
we're storms of January, 1t Is now
conceded by those who are in a posi-
ton 10 know, that the loss of stock In
this county is not near so heavy as
was feared month ago. The pleas
ant warm weather of the past two
weeks has done much to raise the
hopes Of stock men In regard to their
losses. OF course the winter Is not
yet over. but it is safe to predict that
its back bone is broken-that the
worst is over, and that the range stock
who have weathered 1t up 10 this time
stand fair show OF pulling through
until spring, when the valleys and
hillsides will wave in abundance OF
feed. And by the first of July the
range cattle that have survived the
winter will be in good condition. The
whole country will be a vast meadow
OF waving grass next summer, and in
the Fall the steers on the ranges will
be prime beef, ready for any market.
which has not been the case for the
past four years. II the mining enter
prises we have above foreshadowed
should come about there will be quite
"A home market, which is always the
best, for our beef raisers, and their
surplus is sure to find ready sale IN
the California markets. 1t, therefore,
looks very suspicious for the stock
men the coming season.
OUR RANcHERs,
Who are always dependent on the
home market, and without which
they cannot hope TO prosper, see a
brighter season ahead than has been
the case for several years past. The
meagre crops of last year-hay, grain,
and even the products OF the farm
that enter into household consump-
tion-are not by any means plenty,
and those of our ranchers who have
a surplus on hand will find ready
market and good price for 1t before
the new crop comes In. Then, again,
there is sure to be plenty Of water the
coming season, and The crops that
will be raised will be only limited by
the quantity of seed put In the
ground. The products Of the dairy
will also be large, and as this always
commands a ready home market, 1t
