The reporter took q look ut the washer
built by Johu George aad g. Ii. Lewis
and believes it will do good work.
Proctor & Allen are in earnest in their
proposal to build a mill of larger capaci-
ty than the n they now have in oper-
alton at the Ora mine.
There are now four cottages and the
mill building at Ora. The mail business is
increasing some, but there are many
letters and papers going from here to
Ora without postage and record being
kept. This is to be deplored. We would
like to see the Ora-Wadsworth mail
route secure at least the business that
legitimately belongs to it. The benefit
that would ensue would work a vast
deal of good.
From Brooks Mechanics to Ora the
Beanyon is succession of miier's cabins.
The Slip Co. has built on an an addi-
Ition of two commodious bedrooms and
proposes to further enlarge their domi-
cile. Reed 4 Shepley have a nice new
cabin as have Sisson & Bridges. John
Babcock's cabin seems to be a ~favorite
point for bean eating or Sunday after
noon and cats are altogether scarce, they
Ebeing an improvement IN bacon.
There are some twenty buildings in
camp, forming quite a settlement and
and giving the gulch thu appearance OF a
live mining district.
AS it is approaching the end Of '98 all
the miness in camp are busy doing as
sessment work and getting into clear as
fast as possible over jumping PROPOSE
tions. Undoubtedly the hills will be
| alive New Years eve with miners who
want to hold their own claims or
get hold OF some de~linquent's. The
month OF December has no Sunday in
0linghouse canyon.
There are now over 40 miners in the
camp and %disgrnntled ones are COM
paratively few. They are generally hap
by in hard work and the promise OF
prosperity.
i On the Green Hill are working Brooks
| McClane and several OF his employees,
| w. O. Williams, and Chas. Parker and a
Chinaman in the employ of W. G. Will
iams,E. Olinghouse and the Hutchinson
| Co., making that vicinity like a beehive.
John Driscoll and J. +. George are
working tie Homestake. Joe Casteel
aud a miner named Adams are working
on the V. on the Green Hill.
ssBob Arthur JEFF Poole and Chas Nc
Ephern are working on the Slip proper
ty and just over the hill are H. P Reed,
j. Lutz, Joe Effrick, Luke Kearney and
Geo. Avery, while Proctor & Aliens men
and Sisson & Bridges men are up
around the Ora and the Morning Star.
The deputy sheriff subpoenaing mi
ners for trial JURORS is consi tered a boo-
gle man and the il very uu-
welcome.
There are a number of new prospects
that are very promising, aud the miners
are more and nor encouraged as the
days go by. They predict a very profit
able year for '99 and are holding on TO all
the claims they can carry. There is
hardly any doubt that the bullion yield
for '99 will be double that for '9S, and

Short Bros. have had a numDer OF
men employed lately and spenL much Of
their spare cash in developing the
rountry. They have been working as
far north as Tiger Canyon aud the out
look is fair there.
The tunnel being run on the Emma l..
in White Horse proper is now in about
80 feet, and We hope it will end in big
pay.
The signs continue favorable in every
respect for a permanent and paying
camp, and as formations are on the i'm
prove in every direction, the qualifca.
ton looked for by experts, VIZ may
reasonably hope for the capitalist to
make his appearance next year, if
properties are offered at a reasonable
figure. Proposals have been made in
several instances but they were declined
because the miners did not think them
fair. In the cases referred to the mi
ners have proven they were not offered
a fair price by having taken out double
the values since.
AT Ora we found that Mrs. +. r..
Proctor was visiting in Wadsworth but
