the production OF the camp ia now sole
| " from this one company. The value
ofthe production from this compsny'i
mines 10 about one snilIion dollars pei
year.
Besides the De Lamar compsny's
mines there are several other groups ot
claims sufficiently developed to warrant
the prediction that in short time the
pr' dnction OF the camp will be very
greatly increased. The ores of the dis.
trict predominant in gold, conisininp
about 60 per cent IN gold TO 40 in silver.
| SILVER CITY.
The mines NJ Silver City are situate d
on two mountains. Florida lying west
and War EnRle east nj the town. The
oldest discoveries Of the Lr, cious metals
in the county were made on the War
Eagle mountain, thirty yrarS ago. and
for several years the camps upon that
mountain were immense producers.
After experiencing several years Of Vi
clss'tndrs they began again to come
TO the front two or three years
ago and have now again assumed great
prominence. Enterprises now begin TO
10 promise TO make that mountain
again great producer. Among The
most prur inent proprr,ire on War En-
gle are The Poorman group. the Orc
Elmo, the Chariof, Minnesota, Mshog-
any and Cumberland. Many other
properties are vslnahlr.
on FLORIDA MOUNTAIN

BoULDER DISTRICT.
This is new district, situated about
ten miles southeast of Silver City.
A bout thirty men are now employed in
he .istIict Developing claims " hich
are showing up very satisfactorily. The
district covers considerable extent OF
territory. The hedges sre large aud the
MOST Of them are gold producers. Those
most familiar With this district maine
ain that il will prove very valuable
)ne.
T.
THE district carries principally silver
,res. AMI the low price of the white
METAL has prevented the prosecution OF
sofk there TO any great extent for some :
ears. The mines have been rich pro-
ULCERS and should silver again regain
Is legitimate position the camp will
gain flourish.
SOUTH MOUNTAIN.

eposits OF silver galena, and is prob
