BRIGHT PROSPECTS AHEAD.
The Mining, Stock aad Agricultural
Resources OF White Pine Promise n
General Revival and BOuutiful
Harvest.


months of 1890 will pass away with
out any effort at revival OF business
in any part of the State. Indeed, the
effect of the great January storms has
rendered this impossible, and 1t will
probably well up in May before our
miners, stockmen and ranchers throw
off their coats and go to work in ear
nest. OF course, in some localities,
they will be able to start in month
earlier than this.
THE MINING OUTLOOK
or White Pine for the coming year
looks more promising than at any
time within The past decade. From
several camps in the county come re-
ports that work will be inaugurated
as soon Is spring opens.
ROBINSON DISTRICT.
The impetus given to prospecting
I'm this district by the discovery last
Fall of The now famous Joanna Bo-
nanza is already proving beyond a
doubt that great mineral wealth lies
hidden in the vast mineral zone of
Robinson District, waiting only for
capital and enterprise to yield up the
treasure. from several prospecting
mines, outside the Joanna, come very
fiattering reports of rich strikes, OH
which the hardy pr0spectors are
pushing ahead, and, in all probable
ity, before midsummer some OF these
are likely TO develop into just as val
liable properties as the Joanna. The
great extent and varied mineral de-
posts OF this district. which have so
long lain latent, have aroused so con-
fident feeling OF intrinsic worth both
at home and abroad, that the opera
tons OF present year are certain to
show up aud bring to the front two
or three--may be half dozen-twin
sisters of the mine whose fame has
brought the district into prominence.
The gold is here, and the men who
are delving for 1t will find it, and
when found capital will seek invest
ment II the mine owners meet them
on q fair business plane.
II cannot be denied that the present
need of the district is a company with
capital to build reduction works and
push the work of mining develop
ment on a larger than can be done
with the limited means at the COM
mand of the present owners. One
good company operating In the dis
trict would in one year do more to de-
velop its resources than can be done
in half a century under the present
methods. 1t would stimulate the
prospector by labor and means TO
carry on his work, buy his ores at a
fair market value, or his mine when
he had shown up one. Such an nc
QUESTION of capital is the great need
OF the camp, and We all hope II will
be supplied before the summer is
over.
OUR PLACERs.
Besides the mineral wealth OF our
mountains lodes, there are strong In
dications that Robinson Canyon con-
tains rich deposits of placer gold,
which for ages past has been abrased
from the mother lodges on either side
aud found a Judgement amid the sand
and gravel in The bed of the winding
canyon. A home company is now
energetically prospecting this ground,
and at every point they have sunk
their labor has been rewarded with
very ENCOURAGING prospects. Such is
the outlook in our own camp.
TAYLOR.
While the Eberhardt- Monitor Com
pany has been forced to suspend
milling operations for the winter,
quite a force has been kept In the
mines taking out ore and prospecting,
and in the latter, we learn, they are
meeting with good success. As they
will have plenty OF water the coming
season to keep the mill running to its
full capacity, the season will be a
prosperous one with them.
THE ARGUS PROPERTY.
The Argus Company's mines, which
have laid idle for nearly two years. and
which were shut down not for the
want of paying ore or fair prospects,
but through discussions in the man
agement, are likely to resume opera
tons this summer. The interest of
j. s. Carothers in this property has
passed into the hands of Sol Hip by
judgment sales; and, as harmony is
now assured In the Argus camp, 1t is
not at all likely that that bullion-pro-
ducing property will be allowed to re-
main idle much longer. The parties
now IN control would, however, pre-
fer to dispose OF the property, and the
most liberal terms will ha offarad tn
