, over the district with a view of max
! ing investments, and the indications
are that they will become interested in
some of our leading properties. Mr..
Nugens, a Denver capitalist, is now
making an examination of some of our
| mines, and he seems to be well pleased
! with what he has seen. 1t is reported
! that he has obtained a bond on the
Rice Brothers claims, but the amount
OF the bond has not been made public
The Phoenix reduction works, at
BulliOnVille, New, owned by w. S.
! Godbe and sons, is treating the ore
from the Burro mine with satisfactory
results, and it is the understanding
/ that these gentlemen are making ar
engagements so that they can treat all
of the ores of State Line district. Mr..
| Godbe is negotiating with F. T. Mil
| lett for a consignment of ore from the
! Utah Spur, and as there are between
200 and 800 tons of ore on the dump
at this property, it is believed that
! Mr.. Miliett' viii begin shipments at an
early day.
Mr.. Millett has been asked to give a
/ bond on two claims adjoining the Gold
] Hill group, recently incorporated, the
! prospective purchaser naming $4,000
as the price that he is willing to give
for the property.
The Gold Hill, since its incorporation,
I has attracted considerable attention in
mining circles. and the treasury stock
of the company is going in most en-
couraging manner.
The recent strike on the claim owned
by Hicks and Mosher is exciting a good
deal Of comment and the indications
are that this mine will make a fine
record as a producer. This property
is located below the Gold Hill ground
on the west and the showing is eX-
cellent.
IAe Maud north of the Gold Hill,
and owned by Hicks and company, is
/ q promising prospect, and it is stated
! that ore has been taken from this prop
erty that averages $27 in gold to the
ton. 1t is the intention to push work
in the development OF this mine.
The new strike on the Charlie Ross
mine is holding out we'll and the owners
will make consignment of ore to
Salt Lake within a few days. On this
ground the vein is three and one-half
feet in width and it carries average
values of $1S7.50 in gold to the ton.
There is every reason to believe that
the Charlie Ross is one of the coming
bonanzas of the camp.
The outlook for State Line is very
promising one and new faces are to
be seen almost daily in the camp.
Among the newcomers are experienced
miners from Cripple Creek who have
left that noted camp for more alluring
fields, and they seem we'll satisfied with
the change. as there are more openings
and opportunities here than in the
Colorado comp. They state, however,
that the formation here is very similar
with that of Cripple Creek, and they
are of the opinion that in time and
with development State Line will equal
the mines in ColOrado's greatest gold
district
There are from 75 to 100 men now
in the camp, and none of them feel in
the least discouraged. especially as new
discoveries are being made continually.
Colonel H. L. Pickett of Salt Lake
is in the Eagle Valley district making
an examination of valuable gold prop
critics there in which he is heavily in
terested. His group of claims adjoin
the property in which Hon. Allen G.
Campbell is interested From all ap-
pearances and indications these Eagle
Valley properties will develop into
magnificent producers.
The colonel stopped over at Line City
on his way to Eagle Valley and he is
well pleased with what he saw here.
