THE OUTLOOK.
IL Is Good Enough to Predict a Boom
tf the Silver Bill Passes,

there been as much orc exposed in the
mines OF this region, nor have they
generally been SO full of promise as at
the present time. This satisfactory
condition Of affairs is not confided to
any one vacini.y, as all the camps or
districts report notable improvement.
The Minnie Moore and Relief sale,
which is as good as consummated,
will revive Broadford wonderfully, as
the change Of ownership must result
in the ultimate employment OF 200 10
400 men at these mines alone. The
Queen Of the Hills company, whose
property adjoins, and which would
have to bear unassisted the expense of
pumping for many claims il it worked
alone, will, as soon as operations are
resumed at the Minnie Moore-Relief
group, doubtless resume also.
With work resumed in the two
groups just mentioned. it will not be-
long before the Lees guloh and
Colorado gulch claims will be worked
again.
In Star gulch the two principal
groups there will undoubtedly employ
few men each right along. The
Captain Jack, which is owned hy the
Laclede Company, will be worked
from early spring. and the Star has
been worked all winter by leasers on
long lease.
Going up Croy gulch tho School
boy and Cresus groups are the first
encountered which are likely to be
operated this summer. The Crmsus
group is bonded and with fair ptos-
poets OF u sale. The Schoolboy is
owned by men of means who can,
and doubtless will, develop it.
At Bullion the Jay Gould leasers
are doing well, and expect to Go
better. Other leasers on other groups
are also doing we'll; and there is a
probability Of a resumption OF opera
tons on the Bullion group, which is
controlled by the Omaha g. Grant
Smelling Works.
At the Red Elephant group splen.
did record is being made, the mines
showing more and richer ore than
ever in the history of these claims. 1t

the payment OF dividends this sum

Tho Gold Belt claim owners are
evidently all awaiting a change at the

property have recently paid off all

property, which aggregated many
thousands Of dollars, and are under.

King Of the West company is ready
to make regular shipments as soon as
the roads admit of this; the ieasers on

made there. The Abbey owners
have tempting offer to sell, which
they have not yet accepted, as they
can see quits as much in their props

chances OF the ore.chutes continuing
