Steamboat Springs have been meas :
ured and staked. As yet there has been
nothing more than surface scratching

will begian shortly. The delay has been
caused chiefly by the hot water propo-
sition, but it is learned that a method
Of working will be used by which this

in the vein, while the shaft will now
continue to the 200-foot level, on which
stopping will again commence. Char

Weed the outlook for the proposition
appears most favorable.
