Golden Opportunities.

The season Of the year Is almost at
hand when prospectors gradually drift
back to town and as they arrive all report
great activity in all the districts tributary
10 Sumpter. The older sections have
been secured over for fractional claims
and the newer districts abound In prospect
holes and location stakes. As a rule the
prospec,or has done more Thorough work
than in past seasons, located fewer claims
and investigated what he did locate. The
discovery OF new classes Of ore shows tbe
effe,, of prospectors coming ia from other
mining districts where simila. f.! f,9!.!ma!ious
were encountered. Many Of the prospects
Of last year are nearing the. stage where
