A NEW MAIL ROUTE
TO THE YELLOW PINE MINING
DISTRICT.
More About the Mines of this Prom
ising Camp.

A petition is being prepared to secure
mail connections from here with the |
Keystone mine in Yellow Pine District, |
the route to run via the Las Vegas ranch
to the Indian reservation in the Muddy
Valley. In view Of the rapid growth of
that section and the building of the
thirty miles Of road north from the Golf
station which is about to begin. the peti.
ton will no doubt readily be granted,
when we will be in close connection with
the new camp, instead of mailing as now
oil matter via Ivanpah. 10 San Bernsrdino
county, California.
The New Year group of lead mines,
three in number, lie about ten miles
south of Good Springs. They are known
as the G od Enough, Eighty Eight aud
the January claims. The ore is galena
and csrhonates, aud is iu limestone, IN
nearly horizontal veins. or deposit. The
vein or deposits thus far uncovered run
from three to six feet 10 width. Like
most of the claims Of the district, litsls
work has been done on the group, but
ore 10 uncovered for more than twenty
feet and fifty tous are out ready for ship
ment. It will average forty per cent 10
lead and twenty ozs. in silver per ton.
and with present showing twenty tons a
day can easily BIS mined.
The Ruth aud the Ruth North and
South Extensions, a part OF the property
of A. G.. Campbell. are situated three
miles northwest of the Syringe. These
are some Of the first lead mines located
in the district, and Mr.. Campbell has
done considerable development work on
them. The ore ia in chiinueys or chutes,
following assures in limestone, galena
and carbonate, with quartz gangue. The
ore bodies run from one to five feet in
width and have been developed to depth
of eighty feet. Three hundred tons o.
ore are mined which will average forty
per cent lead, sixty ozs. silver and 5000
a ton in gold. This is one Of the groups
which can be relied on for steady ship
ments from the State when the railroad
reaches that point.
; The May Kirby group, embracing tn
Kirby, May, John, Desty, Black Linn
and Rose claims, and one of the riches
, and most promising of the many goo'
claims in that section. are situated oil
miles from Good Springs and are capabl

g The ore is in porphyry assure in lime
r stone and is carbonate of lead with iro
"a oxide gangue, and contains but littl
n silica. The vein varies in width frol
two to six feet. The deepest working
are about 100 feet, and fifty feet Of ore
