Mir. Covell says that on that account few prospectors visit the region. At present he is chloriding on his prop erty and hopes soon to make a few lshipmentS of ore. He has confidence
 in the Eagle Tail region and wisely thinks if there is a mine in his prop
 erty the lack of water is a small ob-
 stacle. A few properties in the Eagle
 Tail mountains ar' np1 being private | ly exported and it will be no surprise
 if that region i; heard from soon.

 NATIVES OF INDIA. A man re- the temperature yesterday reminded Miles Gibbons of the con trast in climate between this section and India, where it really is has known the temperature at to be 133 degrees at 12 o'clock midnight, and this in climate of great humidity.
