A Journal representative met J.. A.
Blossom, n Of the solid men physi-
cally and financially Of Central Ne
vada aud one Of the best iudgesof gold
mines, not excepting the professional
experts in the State, and had a con-
~versation with him regarding the min
ing outlook in Lander and Humboldt
counties. Mr.. Blossom had just re-
turned from Kennedy District, the new
Ell Dorado, which is attracting more
attention at the present time than any
other mining section on the Coast. In
reply to a question by the reporter.
Mr.. Blossom said:
Eyes, the mines in Kennedy district
look well and are quite extensive. The
Imperial mill has made two successful
runs and demonstrated beyond q
doubt that the heavy sulphuret pres Of
the district can be successfully and
pro6tably reduced on the ground. Mr..
Austin is prepared to erect works to
reduce ores that have been considered
too refractory to be worked by ordinary
mill process. The Imperial mill is
running steadily and the Jenkins mill
will be ready to start up about
October 9th on Pride Of the
Mountain ore. There are many
mining locations in the district, some
OF which have been developed to q
considerable extent. Besides the I'm.
perial, there is the Gold Note, better
known as the Irish Boys mine. The
vein has been cut in the lower tunnel
which is 800 feet from the surface on
the course Of the vein. At the greatest
depth attained the vein is three feet
wide and the ore averages from $50 to
800 per ton in gold. Virgins and
Wilson have struck the same vein or
q similar n In their mine. I am in.
formed that Q shipment Of ore from
this mine yielded about 900 Q ton 81
the Reno Reduction Works. A dozen
or more mines are being developed,
and besides those mentioned, the
Grown Point and the Sam 4 Bloss
group give promise Of being good prop
critics."
"What are the facilities for working
the ores In the camps' queried the 70.
porter.
There 10 plenty OF water for mill
ing and domestic purposes" replied
Mr.. Blossom. "Nut.pine wood 10 do.
livered In quantity at IS per cord and
sagebrush at 90 per cord"
Otis reported that the town Of
Kennedy is being built rapidly and
substantially, I" said the reporter.
YES" said Mr.. Blossom, "there
are several two-story buildings already
erected In Kennedy. There are three
stores which deal In general merchan.
disc, Ave OF six restaurants. two or
three lodging houses. two assay offices,
two or three blacksmith shops, two
meat markets. . town hall, a news.

muccs, and freight Ia laid down in the
town for sl5 per ton from the Central
Pacific railroad. The town 10 35 miles
from Bridges station on the Nevada
Central, but ct present freight IL
hauled exclusively from Winnemucca
and Battle Mountain. The perman.
ency OF the mines is assured beyond
doubt and In my opinion Kennedy
will within q year be n Of the most
productive mining districts In the
State. Reno Journal.
