the production OF the camp is nov. sole-

Of the production from this company'a

i Besides the De Lamar company's
mines there are several other groups of

SILVER CITY.
The mines at Silver City are situated
on two mountains. Florida lying west
and War Eagle east ofthe town. The
oldest discoveries Of the precious metals
in the county were made on the War
Eagle mountain, thirty years ago, and
| for several years the camps upon that
mountain were immense producers.
After experiencing several years of vi
cissitndes they began again to come
to the front two or three years
ago and have now again assumed great
prominence. Enterprises now begin to
ito promise to make that mountain
again great producer. Among the
most pror inent propertiee on War Ea-
gle are the Poorman group. the Orc
Elmo, the Chariot, Minnesota, Mahog-
any and Cumberland. Many other
properties are valuable.
ON FLORIDA MOUNTAIN
are three great and steady producing I
groups of properties. the Black Jack,
Trade Dollar aud Tip-Top. the latter
recent discovery is already famous as
one of the greatest properties in the
county. Besides the above there are at
least q dozen other very valuable prop
critics, only waiting capital and enter-
prise to bring them to the front.
BOULDER DISTRICT.
This is new district, situated about
ten miles southeast of Silver City.
A bont thirty men are now employed in
The district developing claims Which
are showing up very satisfactorily. The
district covers considerable extent of

most of them are gold producers. Those i
most familiar with the district main
ain that it will prove very valuable

This district carries principally silver
res. and the low price of The while
METAL has prevented the prosecution of
work there to any great extent for some
ears. The mines have been rich pro-
ucers and should silver again regain
Is legitimate position the camp will
gain flourish.

eposiis of silver gaena, and is prob !
