about ten days ago they were following

Today Boundary Creek and Waneta are

camp has been established at the oroo-

that il is the intention of the company
10 begin the development of the proper
ty immediately.
The Silver Cloud group embraces six
claims and is located on Marion hill.
just above the Geyser- Marion mine,
and it is stated that the Geyser- Marion
vein can be traced through the prop
erty.
Hudson Smith at one time owned a
half interest in the Silver Cloud. but a
year ago this interest passed into the
hands OF a5sssrs. Dern and Arts, by
purchase and ever since it has re-
manned idle, although 1t is known that
the ledge crops at the surface in sew
eral places and that it carries good
milling values even at the grass roots.
The sale of an interest in this ground
means that il viii be actively de-
veloped from this time on. and there is
every reason to believe that it will open
out into a prolific producer.

outlook for the camp. and it has been
their desire to get into some of the
properties there on the ground floor,
and they are now satisfied that they
have succeeded in so doing. and that IN
the Silver Cloud they have one of the
most promising prospective producers
in the district
