mines has convinced us beyond the
shadow OF d doubt that we hardly know
yet the extensiveness Of the gold fields
in Olinghouse Canyon and vicinity.
On Thursday evening souie new dis
c%overies were made just east OF the
Hutchison the V and the Gold King on
the range of low hills running from
McClanesburg about two miles i'll "A
northerly direction.
About nine claims were located, and
the boys tumbled out OF their hunks at
| break OF day to get there and get in.
There is gold for every loot OF the sur
face, and it comes out in grains as large
as a pin head. 1t is simply astonishing
TO see the richness OF the dirt, and it is
quartz gold. The boys are tracing for
the lodges and several have been found.
1t will prove that there are thousands OF
dollars to be had for the working Of it,
and doubtless it will be worked in the
near future as the best minds in the
camp are striving for a solution of the
problem.
A proposition is being considered that
looks very feasible to us, and it is this ::
Jack Sheehan has a fine spring very
near the summit that will flow enough
water to run "A ten-stamp mill. Sur
veyor Stewart says there is no doubt but
the water can be carried through pipes
from the spring TO all the claims on the
green hill and east to the e discov-
cries. The distance is about one and
a half miles. The expense would be less
than 81 900, and water could be supplied
to all the claims. Several parties have
made offers to furnish the money il they
can arrive at a satisfactory understand
ing with the c~laim-owners. We think
they can, and wish 10 say a word in re-
gard to it.
1t can readily be seen that the man or
men who go the expense of putting the
water in must see their way to make it
paw. The wise prospector must know
that ii we want to make a camp go and
make money we must let outsiders who
have money get a chance to make money
themselves, and our trouble about
money will then end. So we say give
outsiders a living chance when they
want to get in. Don't drive them away
by holding claims too high, unless you
can work those claims daily and show
their wealth to the world. We are
rather opposed to selling claims to any
persons who will not work them, but
hold them for speculation. We know OF
no surer way to have the mines tied up
and the camp throttled.
II these new discoveries were consol-
dated and placed in the hands Of some.
man OF ability, it would help wonder
fully to develop the camp. We would
like to see that done. These mines,
properly handled, will urn out money
very fast aud make the camp perma-
nent. That stream OF water from Shee-
hans spring could soon be used for a
mill. In the meantime the boys could be
piling up ore. and then things would AS
sumo shape. There is ore here and there
that should he turned into money, and
the camp would open up like magic.
Arrangements must be made to show
that the mines are yiel ling gold. With
this done capitalists will not have to be
coaxed. This is what we now need.
Give up something ii you have to, you
will have enough left. Encourage men
who will put up money against your
property AMI your work. II you con-
time to be unreasonable Won will 1901
have cause To regret it. Handled well
amt with reason the new camp viii
thrive, because it has the merit.
