ing. the camp can boast of five resident
ladies and several children, who, in
natures home, breathing the essence ol
health. are nearer oontentment than
many who live in the dense throhgs and
who are burthened with the complexed
and vexed follies of society.
Mrs. B. E. Gamo, assisted by hei
daughter, Miss Demmie, conducts the
boarding house.
The friends in Pomona of Mrs. Oscar
FL. Hilbert, who came here an invalid,
will be pleased to know that she Ia 80
improved as to be able to climb to the
top of the highest mountain in Nevada.
The Keyestone property, mine and
mill, is owned by Mr.. Isaac E. Blake,
president of the Nevada Southern rail-
road company, Mr.. w. T. Godby, late OF
Salt Lake city, and Mr.. j. Taylor, dis
coveror OF the mine, and is superin-
tended by Mr.. Godby, most thorough
mining gentleman, who is assisted by
Mr.. George Rose as boss and Mr.. Oscar
H. Hubbard, the compsny's sssayer.
The mine is advantageously situated
for cheap and rapid working. 1t is
situated in permanent and prominent
part of the Charleston range, Lincoln
county, Nevada. The angle or slope OF
the mountain in which the lode or vein
appears is As to 80 degrees variance
from a vertical, with sufficient elevation
to admit of horizontal tunnels or wheel
ways to the shoots which deliver the
ore upon the lower level in bins, pre-
psratory to loading on wagons or cars
conveying the same to the mill. Thls
rich vein OF free gold rock is accompa-
MED by porphyry dixie, confined be-
tween limestone walls, which from a
great depth have filed one OF natures 8
gashes or crevices. On the surface and
to considerable depth below the ore was
confined to the foot wall where it changed
to the hanging wall and thus continued
and at the greatest depth attained. 277
feet, assurance is given OF continuous
mine of high grade ore. at the depth
of 200 feet most remarkable and favor
able feature of the mine Is discovered.
The ore at this point being on the hang
ing wall.
Mr.. Godoy was most agreeably sur
prised when upon cutting the porphyry
through to the foot wall preparatory to
working an inclined shaft or winze, he
found 8 fine body OF high grade free
gold ore. Hence there are two veins OF
high grade free milling ore on each lime
wall, partitioned by q porphyry dixie.
The value OF the Keystone ore is in
creditably high, but Notwithstanding
the unquestionable proof OF valure is
produced in the result of working the
ore. The lowest class ever mentioned ia
$50 per ton, and but little OF this class.
The medium class ranges about $50 per
ton, while the frst-class or highest
grades real average value is known to be
1903 per ton, by actual working in Pue-
bio, Colo.
The freight of the 100 tons of ore
worked in Pueblo was $3.50 per ton,
and produced $48, 4S0. Wagon transpor-
tation from mine to railroad was by far
the largeat item of cost. AS q matter oi
comparison would state that in Sierra,
Plumas and Nevada counties, CAL, g
similar class OF free gold rock is being
mined, carted and milled at cost OF
$3.50 to $4 per ton, and at mine in
Georgia, at 81 per ton. This is only one
instance of thousands throughout this
country, that direct the readers atten-
ton to the financial sacrifices made for
want OF railroad in this country.
The company has just completed and
put in motion frst-clRss 10-stamp gold
mill. 1t is built by Mcfarland & Co., OF
Denver, Col. 1t is what is known as
the Gilpin county mill, specially adapted
to amalgamating or saving fine gold in
the battery. The mill was erected un
der the supervision of Mr.. Mallett, ar
attache OF the machine works at Den
yer, and ia being run by Mr.. John H
Harlan, one of Colorado's most efficient
mill men.
The mill is situated in Mesouit fiat
or the east end of Pshrump valley, sever
miles from the mine. Mr.. j. Bullock
has contracted the delivery of the ore
and makes a trip each day over q uni
form grade from mine and mill. Al
there ia an inexhaustible supply ol
water and fine mesquit wood, delivered
at cost of So per cord, it is estimated
that the total cost OF mining, freightini
and milling the ore will not exceed sS
and may be accomplished at cost o
81. Here where board is 81 per week,
green fruit, squash and other vegetables
are sold at to cents per pound.
In the immediate vicinity OF the Key
stone mine there are some high.grade
free gold propertiee. The Clementina
Golden Chariot, Boss and others
show remarkably fine quality OF rock
and its confidently believed that the ex
ample as set by the Keystone com
pany, in that OF building mill, will bt
followed by others.
In regard to the silver and lead mines
OF that district, they far excel in mum
ber and quality of ore that Of the golt
mines.
When Mr.. Wall Streets time has ex
pired and q true American blood con
gress has superseded the present, those
who would insult the dignity, the wis
dom and power of America, and would
make subordinate and submissive to the
dictates OF her royal highness, the queer
OF England, we will have free coinage oil
silver, and the 100 minee that surround
this central locality, all within IL miles
of water and accessible fuel, will be
made to produce millions of money.
Hon. A. g, Campbell of Salt Lake
Cito is the owner of 20 full size mines
1900 by 900 feet, and for the past six ol
eight years has been engaged in develop
ing his property, travelling with wagon
men and supplies from Utah, a distance
of 40G to 500 miles. AS Mr.. Campbell
states, his mines are now in such con
dition as to enable him to furnish SOC
tons OF ore per day, at any time he may
be favored with railroad transportation
l would invite the attention of the
incredulous, or the over conservative, to
the above truths, as one of many in
stances of proof of the real merits of the
country through which the Nevada
Southern railroad will be built.

will be built a large inland town or city
