IL VIII De ate1 from the above dcscript ON
that che mineral belt extends from The Ai.,
Day NINE on the southeast end to "a
mines al west Camp on the north West G i a.
covering . distance OF about eight miles II
leaGth. The width Of the belt varies Som =
A pl1ees il is fully mile vide, and at 10
place Is it less than half mile. Mineral
can be found on all portions OF tho be q
Ihere are many locations in the distric
mat nave not been mentioned in tnis arti
Gle. However u sufficient mum Der II Il.
been, to give the reader general idea o;
its magnitude.
Nature hes done her part for the success
OF the camp: The ore is very soft, most o.
it can be mined without blasting, thereb,
saving great expense. There arc numer
GUS springs in the district that can pe used
at the mines, and at the town of Ely there
is a large stream Of pure water that is not
effected by frost or by hot and dry seasons
The hills are covered with an abundance o.
timber, suitable for mining and fuel. Good
wagon roads are built to all portions of ths
district, 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.
