There was also lot of this ore reduced at
the Monitor mill, Steptoe creek, and an
other lot was reduced at the chairman mill.
Afterward the parties owning the property
erected a mill at the mine and reduced
some of the ore. The process they employed

There are many locations in the district
that have not been mentioned in this arti-
cle However a sufficient number he's
been, to give the reader general idea Of
its magnitude.
Nature has done her part for the success
of the camp. The ore is very soft, most OF
it can be mined without blasting, thereby
saving great expense. There are numeI-
Gus springs in the district that can be used
at the Mines and at the town of Ely there
is large stream of pure water that is not
effected by frost or by hot and dry seasons:
The hills are covered with an abundance Of
timber, suitable for mining and fuel. Good
wagon roads are built to all portions of tho
district and all the mines are easy of &C
cess. All that is required for q live and
booming camp is money, and he who tn-
vests will reap the reward.
