Articles of Incorporation OF the Red
lands Mining company were filed with
the county clerk yesterday. In addition
to their original property, the company
has just acquired title to controlling
interest in the Wilson group of mines,
situated across the eulch from the
Mcintyre properties, which it ia organ
lied to work. This purchase also in
cludea three-fifths interest in the water
right and the sole ownership of one
claim. The interest in the water rights
alone are, we understand. of great value
to the company, as it insures them
against any possibility Of an insufficient
water supply for their mill. The newly
acquired property will probably be
handled separately from that originally
acquired.

for that purpose has already been un-
loaded at Mcjave; there are not more
than twenty men in the district who
are using dry washers, and the output
OF gold dust is very much less than it
has been.
