I'VE recognized the necessity of rail-

Some OF our prominent St. Louisaus

sources that 1s sure to make it in the

Eyes, many questions are asked me
about the Jarillas, which I can only
answer In general way. The camp is
young and it's possibilities are vet to
be proven. and it takes large capital to
develope even a good paying mine. In
my opinion, this capital will go into
this camp. The temptations are there
to attract it, large bodies of low
grade ore, near the surface
1.-THE development of these ores into
q commercial proposition will employ
men, and this will establish q perman-
ent camp. This will attract others.
Small capitalists will become interest

sent by selling to them my claims

OF good mineral ground, we'll located,
and abundant for operations on q large
scale If our present development work
prove ore bodies that will justify.
''Iu my judgment we have in the Ja-
rillas the making of great mining
camp, beyond any ones present expec-
tations. Some miners say our ore is
only large pockets in lime, others say
we have q series of blankets that with
development are just as liable to prove
up bodies of high grade ore as the sur
face proves low grade. AS proof of
the latter position. high grade ore has
been encountered and small quantities
sacked. I have seen beautiful speci-
mems of native gold and believe that
the pocket or blanket producing same

lity of this fact is also proved in our

Alum is used by many bakers to whi-
