with Sheriff Stewart, and he relates
his experiences thusly:
Ed. BULLETIN We arrived at the
new district Thursday evening, after
good drive from Hawthorne, IS
miles away Camped at Stewart &
Harrington 5 cabin, which is situated
near spring OF excellent water.
Here we met MIR. George Cutting, u
genial and entertaining gentleman,
and also Johnny Harrington, who
needs no comment-his reputation
in this county being well established
And Paddy O'Neil is there, whom we
will let severely alone; his wit might
be too much for me. Rube Lawrence
is also stopping there for few days,
chasing the elusive gold that is on
the raise.
Friday morning we went down to
the Harrington & Stewart mine to
help Johnny put up a windlass.. Mr..
O'Neil and Rube came along when
the foundation was made. Frank
Smith OPPORTUNITY came along and
asked us to go ana expert his claim,
short distance below. We were
10th to leave Johnny without assist
ance. as he wanted us to test the
windlass after he had erected the
same, but Smith being persistent, we
yielded reluctantly and went to his
mine Here he showed many small
openings on the ledge which horn
well. He is running II tunnel to tap
the ledge 80 feet deep.
We next started for Thorne 6
Georges camp, couple of miles UP
the hill. Mr. Smith kindly pointed
out the direction, which led through
q gap in the hills. lie accompanied
US as far as the summit OF the gap,
and then lei me to the top of an ad
lacent peak to show me the tents OF
Webster and Curtis ana Thorn and
George. l marched up the hill and
down again and found that | could
have seen the tents from the bottom
Of the hill. After a mile and hall
climb we reached Thornes camp.
They invited us to inepect their
ledge Ga mile further up but we ae-
cliued on the plea that they would b
late for LUNCH (of course we wouldn't
mind the walk). After an invitation
to lunch and a good drink of water
we continued our way to Douglas.
Here there is o fine spring and quite
a village of tents and one rock cab
in, where all the boys congregate at
night mid mirth and music. Daclin-
ing urgent invitations to lunch, We
pushed on up to the Orphan Boy
mine, where Geo. Fottler and Gee.
Winnan were knocking off. They in
formed US that the mine was looking

We next visited Ed Brown at the
Hardscrabble We found no change
in the prospective millionaire-same
as when l played baseball with him.
He has an incline dowl about forty
feet and, according to the judgment
OF my expert companion, it looks bet
ter in the bottom than at any other
place. From here we returned tc
our camp having travelled in tri-
angle
After supper we visited Douglas,
and met the boys assembled in thG
stone cabin Charley Howard was
there, also a guitar. LCharley says
the boys are too orderly-no chance
for Justice fees; claims that place IN

Dan 0 Keefe and Charley Warren
had just returned from Candelaria.
Phil Horton was there, looking no
older, John Berger and Ross Con-
don have q small ledge of very r.ch
ore. John Perry and Tom Pepper
were prospecting near the old Excel
s.or. H. Towers is there, also Dick
Davis. Dan Robb and Bruso are
worrying night SHIFT, so we missed
Dan S joshing on national and other
subjects, Billy Douglas says he wal
