Those opinions have been rudely swept
aside by the nervier pioneer in the un-
explored regions, until today brain and
! Drawn. money and muscle, are march
ing hand in hand to the music of ex-
ploding giant powder, the clink of steel
and resonant sound of the hosting
works whistles, with the assurance
that dozens of new producers will re-
ward the invasion. Veins carrying rich
ores have been tapped in many new
sections of the district during the year,
ana many more Will be. opened during
the next few months. It is going to
require little time to make bonanzas
of them, but there is no longer a doubt
that they exist, and, that being true,
the rest will be easy
Beginning at the extreme eastern
portion Of the district, at the mouth of
the Ontario company's long three mile
drain tunnel, a strip of territory ap-
proximately 5000 feet wide and eight
miles long Is covered by the possess
sions of the Ontario. DAILY, DAILY West
and Daly-Judge Mining companies.
Along the southern limits of this strip
are located many valuable blocks of
ground belonging to new companies
and companies the existence of which
a Few years ago would have received
but scant attention at the hands of
anybody Today the greatest kind of
activity prevails ali along the line, and
the next twelve months are counted
upon to bring out several new bonan-
Zas. On the west and northwest OF
this strip conditions are the same,
while to the north and northeast cap
ital is showing a disposition to cut
loose in a manner that indicates other
Silver Kings in those directions are
on tap.
AS the real life of the newer portions
of the section south of the strip de-
scribed begins at the property of the
Hawkeye- McHenry Mining company
that will be used as the initial or
starting point in the descriptive jour
ney around the camp.
Old Mines Being Reopened.
The old Hawkeye and McHenry prop
critics were operated in the early days
OF the camp, but the ores in the tunnel
workings of the latter We're lost and a
heavy flow of water in the former
caused the company to give up in dis
gust. During the present year the
company now at the helm acquired title
to the mines of both the old companies
and at the present time an energetic
campaign of development, with ample
means behind it, is being prosecuted
through the old HaWkeye shaft. which
years ago was drained by the Ontario
tunnel. More or less good ore has beer
developed, and the future of the en-
terprise seems, at this writing. to be
assured
short distance to the south of this
property the Homestake company the
East Blue Ledge company and the
Glencoe are all putting in telling work
and the next few months are counted
upon to give them all a standing that
! will materially advance the interests
of the district. The Glencoe is already

tiss. stands TO make a fortune from il
in the near future.
Almost contiguous to the Hawkeye-
McHenry company's holdings on the
west is the large block of ground which
! forms the basis of the recently organ
!, lied Avondale company. The merit Of
this ground is emphasized by the fac
that it is fanked on the west by tht
Naildriver company's territory, witt

Naildriver's Equipment.
The Naildriver company is now
equipping the mine with modern and
. up-to-date hosting plant and a regula-
, ton double compartment and manway
; working shaft is being dropped dowr
, to better facilitate the handling of the
. ores already exposed in the old TUNE
, workings. The moment these connec

Adjoining the Naildriver on tn,
north is the property of the Wabash
company. which was launched by Colo
: mel Nicholas Treweek during the fal
of 1901. The mine is one of the bes
equipped in the camp and up to date
, it has been opened to a depth of 60'
feet. while the shaft is now being
pushed down with an intention of no
stopping until the 200 foot mark i.
