MINES AND PROSPECTS.
Vanderbilt and Vicinity the Scene OF

Vanderbilt and Vlcinity the Scene OF
Great Activity.
The last week has been quiet one in
mining circles, not because of a lack OF
work, but because OF d lack OF anything
exciting. In fact, this ia not ono OF those
csmpa whore au alleged rich strike on
some claim causes An excitement that
lasts for day and then dies away, being
replaced by an excitement over some
other claim. Instead Of this, Vanderbilt
ia established on firm and cold basis,
one of the features OF the amp being the
absence of fevsrish excitement. Our
camp is the result of frmer and more
abiding faith. Many may become weary
of waiting, and discouraged, but not

that faith, This is one of the brightest
moments in the history of Vanderbilt,
and two monthe moro like this will re-
suit in people flocking in here by the
scoro.
Development work on the Boomerang,
the Bronze and The Qaeen Of the Night
still continues with unabeted vigor.
The result OF the weeks work has been
most satisfactory in all OF these proper
ties. There is no decided change from
the appearances of one week ago. which
is saying as much as one could wish.
The new contract on the Chippie will be
begun as soon as Mr.. Wagner, the sue
cessful bidder, returns from Los Angeles,
which will be in about 10 days.
The mill OF the Bronzs Ia working day

BELLS mill will start early in the week,
and will doub ubtless make a long run. The
water supply for this mill is daily in
creasing.
Frank Williams shipped car of ore
to hex mill last Monday.
The Mining and Milling company
shipped Car of concentrates this week.
Bullion still continues to be shipped
regularly from the Bronze mill. That is
what gives the camp name.
As there has been considerable discus.
sion ss to whether or not Pah Cnalka
Springs have been patented. we took it
upon ourselves to make inquiry, and we
found thstthis water right Was patented
number of years ago by Mr. j. A. Bed
we'll.
There was rumor in camp today that
the Queen of the Night property had
been sold. but nothing definite could be
learned as Mr.. Flynn had received only
an indefinite telegram.
| A. Blair came in from Shadow Noun
tain last Wednesday. lie Hays the re-
ports that the Shadow Mountain coun-
try ia failure are entirely without
foundation, as the camp was never so
| prosperous as it is today. The claims
are all looking finely, and the mills are
running constantly.
Mr.. .. b. Nay, who came in last Fri
day, informs ue that he has some very
promising claims near Pah Calka
about four feet wide, but the pay streak
streak is very rick, horning and assay
| ing in frst-class manner.
ii. B. Smith drove over from his mill
at Camp Lillian last Friday. Mr.. Smith
is more than satisfied with the manner
| in which his mill works the ore thai is
brought to him from Shadow Mountain,
Morrell Springs and other places, and
he anticipates q profitable summers
work. The miners who have had ore
milled there are as we'll satistied as Mr..
Smith and are preparing to ship larger
lots Immediately.
| George Thompson was in from Mid
Hills Friday. He is very enthusiastic
over the present outlook for that camp.
He and his brother have Eve claims
there which cover nine lodges. On one
ot theee claims is u ~. foo snait ut the
bottom OF which is vein of ore which
is good enough to gladden. the heart OF
any miner or prospector. Those who
know say that this prospect bears q
very striking resemblance to the Bocme-
rang in all respects. If that is the case,
Thompson brothers are to be oengratu-
lated for locating a most valuable prop
erty. They have large amount Of ore
on the dump and are daily adding to it.
