Among the new mines in the camp no one

garry. Although but in the first stages OF
its development this property has already
sent out some very fine ore, and its owners
are fully justified in looking upon it as a
veritable bonanza. Its stock went above the
dollar mark some time since and
every indication to-day points upward.
Backed by the returns already made the
work of developing this mine is being push
ed with all expedition. The shaft is being
sunk to the $50, and at the same time the
upper levels are full of men taking out
good ore. new engine and boiler of a
velopement of the mine have been ordered
and will be on the ground ready for use
within very few days. As soon as this
has been done the pumps will be put al
work draining the ground, so that work can
be resumed in the East GlenRarry. where it
is expected rock will be found fully equal

the object OF anxious concern on the part OF
owners. either actual or prospective. The
Clinton company is keeping large force Of
men constantly at work upon improve

and show that they have come to stay. In
addition to the developing that is being
done underground, the buildings are being
pushed to completion, and will so make ur

certainly very promising to-day.

The most promising property there at the

some nice placer mines have been worked
in this district during the past summer and
