The Judge mine st Smiths camp,
is working two men now and will
soon increase the force. They have
a nice body of rich ore and are going
to open it up. A sample taken from
the face of the drift at the 25O-foot
level ran 81 ounces silver and IS
per cent lead. With a good body
of this kind of ore it will prove a
bonanza to its owners. Smiths camp
has a goodmany fine properties and
will, when the railroad comes, be
quite a town. Postmaster Edwards
keeps a stiff upper lip and has great
hopes for the future of that place.
While Messrs. L.akin, O'Brien and

to find the trail and after he had
found it returned to find them gone.
After looking for them some time he
made camp and came to town next
morning. A party went out in
search of them Friday, but the lost
returned the same evening after sew
eral days wandering in the noun
tains.
