nlents and promising prospects enough
to much moro than Justify the glowing
accounts that have been received from
that section. The celebrated Union
mine was thoroughly inspected, and
its prosperous condition was sufficient
10 satisfy the experts as to tho immense
wealth of the district. The appearance
OF this mine aud of ether valuable
mineral properties aroused SO much
! interest that MesgTs. Joues, Ludwig
aud Hamilton remained u day longer
for further examination, while the
other members OF the party took
| hurried glance st the various other
important industries of that section.
Ills pretty we'll understood that Caro-
Gor6o is on the eve of return of
prosperity that will cast in the shade
tho recollectous OF former DAYS Of
opulence.
The conditions attending the de-
yelopmant Of the rich ore bodies of the
! district have been so changed for the
better By the facilities for lransporta a
! tioa aud reduction afforded by the
railroad, that the renewal Of activity
that has arrived at such Stage us to
attract widespread attention Ia but the
Legitimate result Of confidence in the
ability Of operators to make a per-
manently profitable business of hand
ling the ore OF the camp, Nat Al for
merry, obliged to cast aside any but
rock of very high value, tie owners
are now able 10 treat successfully the
entire yield of the mipes, and enforced
search for rich pockets will no more
cause periods Of unremuneratiye min
ing.
However, although Cerro Gordo dis
triet is the present center of attention,
owing to its maeni hcent promise of
large and speedy returns, it is not by
any means the only field OF important
enterprise in lnyo county.
The party with Mr.. Yerington, after
leaving the mining district, visited the
great soda worries at Independence
Lake and also the Inyo marble works,
where the quantity and quality of the
marble surprised those Of the visitors
who had not previously seen the quar-
ries. 1t is from these works that the
marble used in Improvements on the
Palace Hotel is being shipped,
Teams were taken to the fertile agri.
cultural region around Bishop Greek,
where the evidences Of thrift and sub
stantIal prosperity could not lie mis-
taken. Inyo county has various re-
sources, not the least of which Is agri-
culture, and the 10 I'd and climate offer
an unqualified diversity of occHpa-
tons.
The farmer Is not confined 10 hay,
grain or stuck raising. No finer fruit
country exists, and much attention. has
been RECENTLY given TO orchards, vine
wards and olive trees.
On Sunday the party reached Can
delaria on the return trip, and were
ihers hospitality entertained by Colonel
Sutherland ind Ceprsin Hulse. Can
deiaria has again come one of The
rushing oanps. The energy of Coo
mel Sslheyland's management has put
the mines in good condition for work
ing, avn the excellent prospects have
renewed The hurry and hustle Of other
times No time has been wasted in
the york of preparationi work has
been pushed with vigor, and the mill
in town Will begin crushing ore on
the Goth of this month.
Tue great chain of rich mineral dis
tricts extending from Candelaria south
is scarcely AS yet wall understood Ivy
the mining world The extent of terri.
tory, v'.lnr ami quantity Of ore cannot
be realized without visit of iuspee-
ton. Pre- abundance of all classes Of
mineral trom free gold to heavy lead
ore assures tor the country u brilliant
future Enterprise.
