What the Brawny Knights of the
Pick, Shovel and Drill Are Doing
in This Territory.

The output of the Hillsboro gold mines
for the week ended October 81 was 500
tons.

mine at White Oaks are dropping night

Considerable excitement prevails at
Kingston and North Percha, says the

they have four foot vein of it.

correspondent writes from La Belle
to a Denver newspaper as follows: This
camp, which started out with such rush
and boom, and gradually diminished in
public interest, has been quietly and
steadily pushing its way forward. New
claims are being taken up nearly every
day, and on all sides small strikes are
events of weekly occurrence. They are
nothing phenomenal, no Mollie Gibson,
or Aztec strikes, but slow development
which bids fair to be healthy and long
lived. The Edison mine, for instance,
which was opened some months ago, has
been worked steadily, and the vein which
was narrow when first struck has widened
as the drift was pushed, and to-day it is
improved very much and every foot
shows better. The ore body is immense.
The rich hematlte streak is 20 inches wide
and assays $4O2.10 per ton. A short time
ago mill run made by Burlingame in
Denver gave $349.39 on the same streak.
This streak is but a small part Of the
vein which is over feet in its entirety.
The remaining four and one-half feet
or over will run $34. These were aver
sge samples taken from across the vein,
not including the 20 inches of richer ore.
They are working the property in three
places, and it presents quite a lively ap-
pearance. This is but sample of d num-
Der of mines which are being developed,
and another year, with mill here, this
camp will take her shoot forward.
