For a number of years Mammoth was
virtually a one-mine camp, but now it
has a strong and formidable rival in
the Grand Central, which joins the
Mammoth mine on the north, and
which, during the past year, has
dropped into line as one of the heavy
producers of the camp, as we'll as a
big dividend-payer, the success of the
Grand Central being somewhat phe-
nomenal to those who are not familiar
with the history of mining operations
in the west, and the rapidity with
which men rise from want and priva-
ton to the position of bonanza kings

The Ajax is also Mammoth produc-
ton, and the camp can well feel proud
of this proposition, which, within its
underground workings, can show man.

Lower Mammoth, adjoining, gives
promise of dropping into line as a
steady producer at no distant day,
While the outlook for the Emerald
seems most promising. Other prospects
in this locality also give promise of
coming to the front in due time as pro-
ducers of the metals which add to the
imperiShable wealth of the world. Just

juncture of the Mammoth and Grand

AT SILVER CITY.
1t is at Silver City. a short distance
south of Mammoth. that the lime belt
ends and the porphyry begins. and it
is in this pOrpnyry zone. which
stretches over a vast extent of coun-
try and as far south as Diamond. that
So many rich producers have been
found and worked in the past. Almost
in the heart of Silver is to be found
such present and prospective bonanzas
as the Swansea, the South Swansea. the
Four Aces, the Picnic and the old Park
mines, while, III the country between
Silver City and Diamond is the Silver

Domingo, the Old Susan. the Gold
Treasure, the Klondike, Molly Gibson
and Alaska, many of which are on the
producing list at the present time;
many have made records as producers
in the past. while the others are prom
ising prospects.
Silver City. like Eureka and Nam
