Vast Bodies OF Mineral Yet to be Opened
Up-DevelOped Mines That Will
Yield Big Returns.

Springs. near the Collossiis and Mon
stcr, Will furnish all the water nec,icd
IN that immediate district. but q pipe
line has been surveyed and the dlscOv-
cry made that all the water that will
ever be needed can be plpcd into the
district from Deep Creek at compare
lively small cost.
JUMBO AND QUEEN OF SIIEBA.
In tho southern part VI Spring Creek
district ~ located the famous Jumbo
and Queen of sheba. with the Jessie
Winner occupying all the country be-
tween the two. only recently has the
Jessie Wcimer company secured a bond
and lease on It's two famous ncghbors
ana the work OF developing VIII be
pushed as soon as the snow aubsldc,
with vigor that Will do credit to the
pushing men back OF u. As stated
above this some company has a bond
and lease on the Dutch Mountain
property.
There is plenty OF water In the Spring
Greek district. not only for culinary
and mining purposes but for power us
well. The III starred Queen Of Sheba

mill In connection. The queen Of

silver. The Jumbo produces both, as
does the Jcrslc wclmer.
ORE Is UNLIMITED.
The quantity OF the ore IL almost un-
limited. there being nearly or quite 200
feet OF highly minerailzcd ore body
running through all three OF these prop
critics, about two feet OF which IL very
rich In gold and silver. These proper
ties are passed the point OF being pros
poets, they are Mines; mines whose
millions In gold and silver only await
being taken out.
The three mountains ON which these

the finest timber conceivable suitable
for mining or other purposes.
THE WILSON GROUP.
on the eastern slope Of the Ibapah
range a little north OF the queen OF
sheDa lies the celebrated Wilson group
OF claims, extending several miles
north ana south. Its ore IL rich In
copper. gold. silver and iron, and In
quantities that surpaAses the eye OF
man to measure or his mind to con-

AN AGRICULTURAL VALLEY.
We should not fail TO mention In this

districts.
In writing this the writer has con-
fined himself to that which he actually
saw. The eight districts OF the Deep
