The gentleman referred to promised

But said one true blue miner
will it be necessary to enlist the SER
vices of Senator Brown in this matter?'
The gentleman who stood pat with
the Utah delegation replied that he be-
heved this would have to be done.
Then said a six-foot-six miner
who lowered like a sycamore above his
associates, "as bad as we want a post
office, we will not have it if Brown has
to have a finger in the pie
This sentiment was voiced by every
person in the crowd, from which it
would appear that Senator Brown is
not a favorite with the claimholders
and miners of State Line district.
There are $50 miners in State Line

IN KINsLEY MINING DISTRICT.
Rich Nevada Mines to Be Worked
by Salt Lakers.

Rich Nevada Mines to Be Worked
by Salt Lakers.
Kinsley Mining district is located in
Elko county, New, few miles west of the
Utah state line.
The district is rich in it's mineral re-
sources, and it is here that party of
Salt Lake mining men, composed of W. w.
Chisholm j. d. Kendall, William Brad
ley, j. N Dunyon and N A Dunyon have
located and patented a group of thirteen
claims.
For six years these gentlemen have de-
Veloped these properties and in doing so,
have uncovered large bodies of high grade
carbonate lead ores.
During this Time but very little ore has
been shipped the object being to thorough
~ develop the group in order that at any
time desired the property might be placed
on the list as a regular producer and
shipper.
This time has at length arrived, and to-
day Newt" Dunyon who, for several
years past has been assayer and foreman
at the Centennial-Eureka mine, will leave
for kinsley for the purpose of putting on
a force of men and beginning ore ship
ments to this city by the way of Toano,
New.
There are already ninety tons of high
Tor shipment, and as soon as this is
started on its journey to the smelters,
more will be forthcoming, so that con-
sIgnmentS from now on can be made with
clockwork regularity.
A year ago last spring forty tons Of
ore were shipped from the kinsley mine
which Melted its owners $500.
Kinsley is a high grade camp and will
make a great record for itself within a
year from now.
