near Pony, is having quite little
boom. More men are working in the
district at present than shave been in
any time past. 1t is stated that from
three to five carloads of ore are being
shipped weekly from this district. The
claims that are the large producers are:
The Belle. Summit. Mountain Cliff, Will
low Creek and Ned. The Watseka
mine. which has been worked by Miller
g. Whipple during the winter is pro-
ducing some fine ore. and the gentle
men will soon begin shipping their ore
The Watseka is one of the old stand

with it. The ore seems to be in pock-
cts and chutes.
The old two-Stamp mill at Silver Star
owned by William Owsley, has been

Should the Harrison continue as well
as at present, when more development
work has been done it will prove a
bonanza.
