so much OF late about this locality rs a
mining camp IL also another reason
why We are hero go soon. We regret
that nj this date but little can ho said
about minetal. There Ia too
much snow In Ilaces for this.
However, II every mining claim

During tho In Plata excitement,

Real estate men, farmers and oihers

mining are named among the lot. "a

fcctly easy for q miner TO determine
who has taken up most OF these claims
aud for what purpose they were taken.
We will say, however, that perhaps
half dozen claims have been taken
up by regular pr0spectors and miners,
for their work IL to be seen.
There Ia but little protection In our
mining laws for genuine prospectors.
Men take advantage even OF the law

so little development IL done.
There has been no boom here Judging
by the looks Of tblngs, for not a dollar
