Provo, Jan. 6.-Ar. f. n. Millett re-
turned from State Line mining dis
tFict this morning and brings very en-
couraging news from this camp. He
reports that new people are coming in
there every day and increased activity
in the development of the many fine
properties is noticeable, which will ere
long, in Mr.. Millett's opinion, make
State Line one of the greatest camps
in the west
The owners of the Bui 20 mine are
shipping their ore to BullionVille, New,
where it is treated by Goddess mill.
They save 80 per cent of the assay
value of the ore, which is so salts
factory that many of the other mines
contemplate shipping the products of
their mines to Bullionville, which is
only 80 miles distant.
4 new strike has been made in the
Gold Hill, of which Mr.. Millett is one
OF the owners. The ore is rich in sill
yer, carrying $50 ounces in the white
metal and $3.50 in gold, and is very
similar in appearance to the old Ray
mond & Ely (Pioche) ore. The COM
pany is now Incorporating, and before
Mr.. Millett left a contract was let to
parties from De Lamar New, to sink
a 250-foot shaft at 81 a foot, the con-
tractors to be paid in stock at 10
cents a share. Mr.. Millett states that
it is worth about IS or 50 a foot TO do
the work, but the proposition came
from the contractors to do it on
the terms mentioned in order to get
some of the stock. He says that it is
easy to dispose of the stock and in
tereSt in the various claims of the
camp to people who are on the ground
and have made personal examination
of the properties. The following shows
TO a slight extent who the people are
who are interested in State Line and
what they are doing:

South East midas, have 5O-foot
quartz belt on their ground which car
ries So to SIS in gold and must prove a
valuable proposition
Hon. A. G.. Campbell and Mr.. John
