Work was commenced on the MGuli-
tain Boy this week and shaft will be
sunk until it is determined how far the
ledge goes down or if it goes down foi
100 feet and gives assurance OF "a paying
mine. An eastern banker, fatntr-ln-laN

develop 1t as soon az possible. Snrfac,

This contract was taken under the
offer of Brooks McCiane and shows thai
he stands 10y his word, il willing to aid
in any way that he can to bring out the
camp, and is not AFRAID of anything in
the diggins petering out. His course
deserves the warmest commentator OF
of our people and shows him to be fair
minded.
Work was commenced on the "V"
claim in the shape of shaft and the

known whether it is valuable or other
wise. 1t is like other claims on the
"Green Hill," rich on the surface and
promises to swell the owners ex-
chequers.
A shaft was started on the Hutchinson
last week and it is proposed to continue
il for prospect hole for 100 feet. The
surface indications are good, the ledge
is wide and promises some wealth to its
owners.
Proctor and Norris are driving ahead
with the drift on the Ora Claim and
taking out $46 free milling ore and piling
it on the dump to have it ready for
reduction whenever milling plant is
put in. At the same time it is develop

proved itself valuable one and poor

rich from the grass roots.
Proctor & Norris sold l.. Benner, who
paid the camp short visit last week,
four pounds of dirt for 500. The boys
did this to give the visitor an oprortu-
nifty to try the gold and as an evidence
