OLlNGHOUsE MINES
Favored With Many Visitors
From Colorado Camps.
What rs Being Done IN the Way
of Development

OF Development.
The camp has been favored with
many visitors during the past month;
the majority Of them being Colorado
mining men
Whatever the judgment Of these
men may be we cannot say, but we do
know that the future holds no old omen
for Olinghouse mining camp.
The geological conditions found In
Olinghouse seem to pace the experts
in quandary and when asked for an
opinion Of our camp. we are told many
things in reply that may be redu1ed to
a simple statement: II have not the
knowledge one ought 10 possess to rem
der justice to your camp The gold
is here but | would never expect to
find 1t IN such rock 4,ss1
Now and then man will spend a
week or ten days in camp and II he be
a man who has spent the best part Of
life in the hills. you may depend upon
it that he will be followed by others
who are his co-workers seeking desifa-
BILE properties for the capitalist to In
vest his surplus wealth In.
1t may not be amiss to call the at
tention Of property owners in the camp
to few things which from business
standpoint, Of view may be done away
with to the general good Of all.
There has been in the past and there
still exists in evidence to all certain
degree Of selfishness over the interest
taken by mining men in various por-
tons Of the camp. We believe this is
one Of the worst evils in our camp to-
day; and cannot understand why per-
sons-who are otherwise far above tho
average in. mental gifts-will demean
themselves and injure the camp by So
doing. with no hope of even pecuniary
gain.
All should remember that men oi
wealth do not care to hazard theii
money by begging a bargain in any
camp in the world.
If your neighbor has sale pending
and you can assist him in an honorable
way. do so and thus increase youl
chances for buyer.
Dent use your hammer too hard fol
a clever man might suspect you o.
having motive.
We ought to accord all visitors the
grandest hospitality we can afford. fol
they will judge US by our acts
That is all, children for this time.
+ The progress Of the camp is evi-
denced by the mill returns and ore OF
dump as well as the actual develop
ment now being made in the mines.
The Crown Point owned by Johr
Sheehan has been bonded to C. B
Bell for $4,000. This property is tt
be crosscut and developed 10 deter
mine the nature Of ore bodies ant
manner Of occurrence.
The small amount of ore produce,
from this property does not seem II
have affected the sale so much as di'
the values and the ore blocked out Il
mine. Mr.. Bell has placed Mr.. D. R
Wilkinson Of Cripple Creek. Colorado
in charge Of the property.
