There are many locations in The district
that have not been ~ 1tioned in this arti-

it's magnitude.
Nature has done h-T part for the success

is a large stream Of pure water that isnot
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
