Prospects Promising.
our correspondent enjoyed q very pleas
ant visit. during the early part Of the week,
so the mines at Adams Hill and vicinity
and was very sgreesbly surprised ct the
present showing and the large amount OF
gold. silver and lead ores being extracted.
Regular shipments are being made from
nearly every mine on the hill and adjacent
thereto, while everything looks bright and
encouraging for the owners - well % the
~lessees.
II ia a remarkable fact that many OF our
W town people, who have lived here for
years, know comparatively little regarding
this rich mining section, right Al our
doors, so to speak, and the present show
ing is 90 good that il really gives one the
mining feeling tthe anne as experienced
by the old timers during the boom days OF
long ago.. to see the good work going on
with the accompanying results.
Let us look for . few minutes at the rec
ords Of some Of the properties there and
from what they have done in the past We
can at least form some opinion as 70 what
they are liable to do In the future.
On the north ia the B~ullwhscker, which
has produced as per the records in the Of
foe Of the county Assessor, . total OF sl07,-
495. 90, and good ore is still encount tered
and regular shipments are being made.
To the east Of the Bullwhacker are the
Williamsburg, which has . record OF $751;
III. 8s, and the Idaho with $50. 043. 30, ss
per the Assessors books. These proper
ties are under lease and shipments are be-
ing regularly made to the smslters ct Salt
Lake City and San Francisco.
To the south Of the above three mem
toned properties is located one Of the fin
est group Of mines to be found in the State
at the present time, which consist Of the
following: The Oriental d Belmont, which
has been and still is one Of the best and
largest producers. The records give q
credit 70 this property Of s27, 094. so. and
1t was stated and known to be . fact that
Collier Robbins (who ran . smelter here
in the early days on ore from this prop
erty exclusively, and prior to the date Of
the county reoords), smelted from this
property alone ore with q net value Of
over SITS, 000. The property 81 the pres
emit time Is under lease to Messrs. Smith &
Farrell. They are at present keeping up
the old time record and are not only ship
ping fine ore but have q good reserve 10
draw from. The ore averages from rs to
$50 ounces in silver. about one ounce in
gold and from 80 to so per cent in lead per
ton.
Adjoining the Oriental 4 Belmont on
the west is the HELEN, owned by Messrs.
Farlinger q Co., and has q brilliant rec.
ord and is still making regular shipments.
Their first-class ore averages about $50
ounces silver, one half ounce Of gold and
about 80 per cent lead. From the present
fine showing In this properly we predict
for the lucky owners 9 veritable bon ANA.
On the west, and adjoining the Helen is
the Msmbres, an old-time and steady pro-
Queer Of no mesn proportions. The rec.
ords give credit for s31, S17.49 as having
been taken ont and marketed. Work Is
still In progress and the men are reaping
good compensation for their labor. The
value Of the ores shipped average about the
same - the Helen and the others Of this
group; all being practically on the same
formation and contact.
The Little Addie joins the Membres on
the west and has always been considered >
promising property. Large shipments
have been made In the past and some Of
which went over s ounces In gold per ton.
Al present, i've men are working there
with very good results and the brightest Of
prospects.
To the south Of the Little Addie and id.
joining Is the Altoona. which is still keep
ing up 10 Its excellent record Of The olden
days - . producer Of good ore and lots Of
1t. Thirty-three thousand, three hundred
and seventy.ive dollars and f~orty-dve
cents Is credited % having come from this
property. and from the present indica-
lions, taking into consideration the ore
bodies in sight. shipments win continue
for along time 70 come. with every prcs-
poet Of the ore chambers increasing in
extent and richness. Shipments are rsgu-
larry made from the property with very
fsttering results and some ore has been
marketed running over 2 ounces in gold
per ton with very high results in silver.
To the east Of the Altoona lies the Bar
ton, which II adjoins and is . property
with . record In the past Of SIS. 0s6. 81.
that is since the taking of the production
Of mines by the County Assessor. but il 10
. ~well-known fact that prior TO that time
this property produced thousands Of dol
lars Of which NO record is TO be had at the
present time. Fine ore Ii still In the mine
ready for extraction.
Lying to the west Of the Altoona il the
Paul Pry which has produced $40. 929.l9
and the King Lear adjoining with . record
