women and children. This is by far the
largest number that has gone in on any
one day There is such demand for lum-

not be procured for hauling. Lumber sells
for Sl2 thousand at the railroad, and
the charge for hauling is 81, making the
cost at the camp sec. Probably fifty car
penters are at work daily, and the demand

SlO0 per month. Lots which six weeks ago
sold at $50 now readily bring $500 and no
options can be secured. The best strike
that has been made recently is on the
Buena Vista, from which recent assay
by Professor Lamb, showed 81 l,042 in gold.
This mine is being operated under bond
and lease by company of Colorado Springs
