Jim Buckley is burning lime for the
old Abe and North Homestake com panles,
both of which are using considerable
quantities of it in improvements being
made or contemplated.
White Oaks Eagle: Some new mineral
lodges have been discovered on the Bon
ito in the White Mountain district.
These mountains are rich in minerals that
will be of great value when transporta-
ton facilities are secured. boom in
silver would put number of properties
there on their feet at once.
Prospects in the Jicarilla gold camps
continue to grow brighter right along,
and better things are certainly in store
for that district. A late strike of a
strong flow of water is considered one
of the best things there. Most of the
miners have been handicapped by the
want of money, but that lack is being
remedied slowly and work is taking more
vigor.
