developments of the Star
Our little camp has over fifty meu on
payroll and as successfultributors today

Mr.. Jennings and his associates are
meeting with great encouragement in
the Butte Valley copper mining enter-
prise as, we are informed, the various
shafts which have been sunk during
the Winter have exposed some tine
bodies of highgrade copper ore.
Supt. 7. G. Davis OF the G. d ".
Elk. Co. was 10 from the mill during the
week purchasing supplies etc, prepar-
atory for the working of custom ores
from the various mines OF our district.
The mill will start up within few days,
as teams are now engaged in hauling
ore from the mines to the mill.
Messrs. Rose and Frost of the Wide
West are pushing development DIRK
in the mine al d are finding and ex-
tracing some fine gold ore. They
have force OF some ten or twelve men
engaged on this property and no doubt
but the recent developments will en-
gage the services OF double the force in
the near future.
Manager W. A. Watson OF the Joanna
now has force of sixteen men, trib-
utors, taking out rich ore from the
Joana, all of which will be put through
the G. & W. Elk. Co. g gold mill. Out

from IS to $40 per day above all expen-
ses for the term OF their lease.
General Manager ". B. Lawler of the
Gold Nugget was in town paying of
for January Monday. Mr.. Lawler h as
struck the ledge in his lower workings
recently, which averages from three to
five feet In width, aud while this large
vein does not run as high in values as
that from other portions of the mines.
it goes to prove that the Gold Nugget
il wonderful property and that Mr..
LAWYERS faith and untiring efforts
have boon thoroughly realized.
Our townsman, p. II. Cannon de-
parted for Salt Lake last week to ar
range for machinery, which he will in
stall at his New Century mine at once.
Pete has crackerjaek OF mine, and
the large and extensive DO dies OF rich
ore developed during the last few
months in this property are indeed en-
couraging to Mr.. Cannon, who has Ia
bored and striven so continuously dur
ing the last several years for the sue
cess which he now claims, and is only
another instance showing the, great
mineral resources OF our district.
Prof. Fred Smith, wife and son de-

him with us again In the near future.
while Mrs. Smith win enjoy an extend
ed visit throughout the East.
John Wearne Is negotiating a sale of
the Exchequer mine with Eastern cap
italists and no doubt but the output of
the various other mines in the camp
will install new capital into this famous
mine which has been idle SO many
years from the fact that former met h
DDS for reducing the ores OF this won
derful property together with the coll
lapse OF the silver market necessitated
the suspension OF these works. But
now with the improved milling facil-
tiles It requires but little capital to re-
pair the machinery OF the Exchequer
sufficiently to remove the water from
the lower workings of this mine which
would expose large bodies OF ore
that can readily be reduced into a div
idend paying proposition.
