The Pleasant View Mine. Gold Hi, n.
M.-This valuable property la,cly sold
by p. II. Snyder for q consideration OF
$4,000, has since been Incorporated as
tho Mountain View Mining Co. This
property has been owned by Nj. Snyder
for two years, though owing to The lack
Of funds and the general monetary de
preston, comparatively only a small
amount Of development work has been
executed.
This is undoubtedly one OF the most
promising gold properties in Gold Hill
district. Some development is necessary
TO place it OF the list as a steady Droduc-
er, the facilities for such being excellent.
This claim being an extension of the
Northern Bell Mine, owned by the es-
tate OF Mesdames Patterson and Fielder,
the intervening space between this mine
aud said Northern Bell is about 20 feet.
The ledge on the Patterson has a devel-
opment of a "A foot shaft at n place

VIM. Swancoat, manager Of the Min.
eral Point Zinc, Co, at Hanover, who
was in the city last week, is authority
for the information that there is little
probability of his company again operat
ing the once extensive zinc mines at thai
place. He has made a final clean up
When the we're closed down las.
November it was generally supposed t.
be the result OF the depressed meta
market and the operations OF the law il
regard to the exemption Of assessment
work for 1893. While these facts n,
doubt had some weight in the matter
the real and principal cause was lack o
ore. There never was n VEN Of this mot
al in the mine-the metal being found il
pockets, and they have become exhaust
ed. In 1891 this was one OF the mos
ho%urlshing properties in this section ant
employed as many as 81 men. Mr.. Swan
coat said, however, that there was con
siderable activity in the camp amonl
the iron miners. Tho Brockman prop
critics are being operated by a force o
90 men and it will be necessary, no doub
to increase this number, as he has larg,
contracts out for future delivery OF ore
j. H.. Bragaw, of Gold Hill, was in
town last week. Mr.. Bragaw said tn.
outlook for Gold Hill was never s
bright as ut the present, time. Every
thing is running full blast, the workin
forces are being increased and new DIS
coveries are being made. He think
there Is a great future for Gold Hill
lie is now making a run on ore from hl
own mine, the Star, with good results
Custom ore comes in so fast for trent
ment at his mill that it is almost impoi
sible for him to handle his own products
DR.. Owens was over from Fort Bayar,
last Friday. He is working nine men il
his leased mine and mill in Gold Guile
and made a a load shipment of concir
trates to the Dsming smelling work
last week. He expects TO make anothe
large shipment this week. He says wit
a slight advance in the price of silve

, on a very substantial boom.
Snyder Bros, at Gold Hill, owners {
, the Lottle mine, have had some Of the
| high grade ore treated at the Bragav
mill, and the results are very s~atisfactor,
Geo. Snyder, who was in the city las
weeks, says be Is much pleased over til
outlook for his camp this season.
