Activity Noticeable Throughout
Camp Floyd District.


Camp Floyd District.
The east dip" is coming in for a
share Of attention at present, and op-
] erations at the Crown Point are being
carefully watched, as at this property
a greater depth is being reached than
/ in any OF the others. The shaft is now
( 81 feet deep and has been following a
small vein. At the surface, values OF
81 20 in gold were obtained and al
though the owners refuse 10 talk there
/ are good reasons TO think they are still
finding good values The vein is widen
( ing and the GRE looks well.
salt Lake parties are negotiating for
a bond on the Gold Hill. II was in this
! property that 4 piece OF float carrying
gold was found a short time since.
! Other pieces Of good looking float have
/ been picked up in the vicinity, and only
the lack Of capital has prevented the
owners from making a thorough exam
nation OF the. property Should the
transfer be made, considerable means
Will be spent in exploring the ground.
Messrs. Scheu. Hicks and Raddatz
paid a visit TO their property on the
east Dip yesterday, and it is probable
that work in their several properties
Will be commenced forthwith.
At the Mignon five or six men are at
]
point and q tunnel at another. At the
! Anderson, Fedora and Easter, men are
at work and the showing is really en-
couraging.
The report of the discovery of galena
ore al the Overland seems TO be well
founded An assay shows Is ounces sill
yer and 90 per cent lead. The vein is
now about three feet wide and seems
to increase with depth. Whether a mill
will he. hill 49,
mer viii depend more on the ability of
the company to raise the means than
on the DEVELOPMENT of the ore body
Already the Overland has more high
grade ore in sight than the Sunshine
ever had.
1t looks as if something might happen
at the Sunshine before long. The stock
has run down pretty well. but it is be-
lieved there is yet plenty of good ore
TO be found in the ground. The fact
that the Malvern people, who are large
ly the same parties interested in the
Sunshine, are getting ready TO do
something is suggestive. The Malvern
is on the Sunshine vein, and the char
acter of the ore is similar.
Work on the west dip claim is still
progressing and ore apparently similar
to that found in the La Cigale is being
extracted.
Al Inc La ClSale, the two SHAFTS are
connected now on both the first and
second levels. The assay Office is com
pleted and is one of the best in the dis
trict. The elegant residence building
is well along and only a few days work
are left on the mill site grading. Near
ly all the lumber is on hand, and a
large force of men is busy with the
framing; and the machinery is arriv-
ing. The pipe line survey is just COM
pleted and viii require five miles and
100 feet of pipe to convey the water
from ODhir creek. Should it be deter
mined to continue it to the Daisy, an
other half mile will be added to the
distance.
A whim for the Chess - AXE has ar
rived in Mercur and wl.i be taken to
Lion Hill in a few days, when work in
that property will be resumed.
c. c. Higgins has returned from his
trip to Beaver Lake district. better
Pleased tlan ever with the prospects.
He SAYS there will be considerable
work done there this season and a
great deal of exploring.
