says:
Railroad or no railroad, White
Oaks has been going steadily for
ward for the past few months, un-
til the mining situation in that
famous district never looked so
bright before in the entire history
as at the present moment. AS
proof of this, a mining sale took
place Saturday in which $4,000
changed hands and the purchasers
were mighty glad to get it ct that.
This was the sale of the Boston
Boy to some Buffalo capitalists.
Several months ago Professor
Presswick, former Instructor of
chemistry in Cornell university,
came TO White Oaks on business
and pleasure trip combined and
while doing some prospecting he
was shown the Boston Boy, which,
at that time, was the sensation of
the Camp. The specks of the yell
low stuff in the ore alone proved
it, high quality, but to test it, the
professor sent it to Ell Paso. The
assay, Of course. only proved con-
cusiveIy what the sight had pre-
viously declared, and the high
quality ofthe mine was established.
Mr.. Presswick communicated i'm
mediattly with some Buffalo par
les and knowing him to be a
scientist of good judgment, as well
as sound business acumen, they
became interested aud sent two of
theirmembers to investigate. They
were @, G. Hoyt and DR.. FL. nj. Hill,
a prominent physician of Buffalo.
They arrived in White Oaks last
week and spent several days in a
careful investigation of the prop
erty. They found it exactly as re
presented, and its Immediate pur-
chase followed.
The ownerso of the mine are Mrs.
Woodland, a widow, Bert Timoney
and Frank Conger, but about a
year ago they gave an option on it
for $4,000 to Messrs. Heineman
and Creary. As this option expir,
ed only last Sunday, it was these
latter gentlemen who really made
the sale.
One Of. the most, prominent min
ing men Of the territory and one
who has matie' a fortune ia the
White Oaks mines, in, conversation
with your representative, declared
that in, Ais opinion the Boston
Boy would prove to be Il second
Old Abe with proper development
The vein in the Boston Boy, he be-
liovoe a., a ,,rt;nnhiian 20 tko Ola
Abe lead, which is a true fissure
and which has PRODUCED a million
dollarsin gold up to the present
time, with thousands of tons Of ore
in sight yet. If the Boston Boy
does prove to be. this, and that il
will hardly admits of a doubt
White Oaks will see repetition Of
The days of the early 90's, when il
was the livelist district in the ter
ritory. =

l50.foot tunpel ruuuing in! the
mountain, Cross-cuts from this
