camp will be when its real value be-
comes thoroughly understood in min
ing circles, tnat is among men who
have abundant means to invest in
good paying quartz properties. AS
a matter of course, the rich quartz
veins are the future mainstay of the
camp and placer mining is simply in

prises of considerable magnitude in
that line to be carried into successful
operation. 1t is the opinion of Mr..
Geo. Riebold that ten or twenty stamp

mill. All the machinery, with the
exception of the boiler, has arrived
and is being put into position in the
newly completed building. Track is
being laid from the Goodenough tun-
mel to the ore house, and if the boiler
arrives in season, the stamps will
commence dropping on September
