1t Bids Fair to be a Big Camp IN
the Spring.

now on the ground:
ED. BULLETIN: From appearances
this will be the future gold pro lac
ing camp of the State Tha majn or
mother ledge crops Tor 4 listalaa o.
four miles. 3 sides this ledge there
are others running parallel to it
which seem to be as rich in gold as
the main ledge.
Gold was first found here last Fall
by Dan Bowen. Since then Douglass,
Robb & Company have beea pros
peoting and developing their loaa-
tions, Until recently there was no
other prospecting, but now the camp
numbers about 30 prospectors, who
are all in hopes of betterin. their
finances.
The camp is about eight miles from
Soda Springs and four miles from
the Garfield mill, and east OF the old
Excelsior mine about five miles,
There are two routes to the camp:
One from Hawthorne, with good
wagon road, distance about 81 miles.
The other is from Soda Springs, and
is about ten miles by good road.
There are a number OF running
springs, which furnish sufficient
water to run reduction works, and
of wood there is an unlimited supply.
This is beyond doubt one of the most
favorably situated camps that has
ever been discovered in the State.
There are two camps here, One is
on the west slope of Robb's Ridge,
facing the Garfield mill, and the
other is on the east slope.
THE MINES.
On the west side are located the
Dunlap g Truman mine, running
easterly and westerly. They are
running a tunnel on the ledge and
are in 80 feet, showing ledge from
two to six feet wide. They had no
prospect of gold when they started
the tunnel, but now the hornings
show from IS to $25 per ton Mr.
Dunlap informs me that We can trans
port his ore to the Garfield mill for
81 per ton.
