This gigantic, phenomenal and stupendoua
property runs east and west and dips to the
south. If this wonderful proposition" pans

ney and Mr.. Bennett say that human
language could not exaggerate this prop
erty.
A water right has been located on the
north fork of Boulder, with a fall of 800
feet, which will furnish ample power for a
colossal electric motor. A Huntington oen-
trifughl mill is now running most satisfac-
torily, with capacity of about six tons per

perience i'll gold quartz and the careful de-
'velopments conspire to assure him of the
