tlenan of first-class ability and from
| the start will undoubtedly receive a
hearty support from the mining men
of the west.
We understand that the Greek Placer
property, located in Bingham canyon.
the property of Nicholas Castro, has
been bonded by ]. Doolan for an
Omaha party This property has been
considered one of the richest placer
propositions in Bingham, and it is be-
| lieved that the gentleman who secured
the bond has also captured a bonanza
The Gold Dust company, whose pro-
perty adjoins the Rover and Geyser, at
Mercur, has let a contract for shafts
and tunnels on the group, at an esti-
mated cost of 81 400, to H. S. Bishop

is expected that the Duquense tunnel
will make connection with the BOTTOM
of the shaft about January Is. As
mentioned before in these columns the
Duquense property joins the Dalton
mine on the north

day they worked on the property. Pat.
who had sold the claim for a song.
was greatly chagrined over his loss.
and said, that after this before he
sold claim, he would always drive

Since capital has been diverted so
extensively into Camp Floyd district,
the future of the camp is almost as
good as assured, as most of the work
being done there sis for BLOOD and is
not confined to a little scratching here

a camp, and Camp Floyd district will
soon be honey -combed by deep shafts
