Ii VIII lie seen from the above description
that the mineral belt extends from the May
Day mine on the southeast end To ne
mines at West Camp on the northwest end,
covering u distance of about eight miles IN
length. The width of the belt varies some.
AT places it is fully Il mile wide, and at no
place is it less than u hak mile. Mineral
can be found OH all PORTIONS of this belt.
There are many locations in the district
that nave not been mentioned in this arti-
Gle However a sufficient number has
been, to give the reader general idea of
its magnitude.
Nature mas done her part for the succass
OF the camp. The ore is very soft, most of
it can be mined without blasting, thereby
saving great expense. There are numer.
Gus springs in the district that can be used
at the mines, and at tho town of Ely there
is large stream OF pure water that is not
effected by frost or by hot and dry seasons
The hills are covered with an abundance of
timber, suitable for mining and fuel Coed
wagon roads are built to all portions of the
districts and all the mines are easy of &C.
cess. All that is required for live and
booming camp is money, and he who in.
vests will reap the reward.
