This is perhaps the most extensive

II lies about eight miles south Of
Dutch mountain, In an opening in the
range which drains to the east. II
Is easily reached by wagon road
which runs to all the mines. There
are two springs in the center of tho
camp. which supply It with water,
There Is considerable fuel on the ad.
joining hills.
The naturalization consists of veins
lying in the limestone or quartzite ad.
Joining a circular mound OF porphyry.
Beginning on the western side Of
this porphyry we find the limestone
highly mineralized and broken up Into
a series Of veins running nearly south
east and northwest. These veins lie

high values In gold and copper
The Bonnemont and Cane Springs
are the principal mines in the marble.
You can follow all these veins veins for
a distance OF nearly five miles to the
southeast across the canyons and over
the hills In one long series of claims.
with outcrOps every few hundred feet
along the veins, carrying large quanti-
ties of iron, copper and gold. Some Of
the prospects have been opened to the
depth OF 100 feet, but most Of them
have only been opened to short depths.
These veins soon pass out of the lime
stone and enter the porphyry, but
they keep the same general direction.
The ore after the veins leave the lime
stone, is found chiefly In chutes In the
porpNyry, which vary in width from a
/, few inches to 10 or 10 feet The amount
of veins, must be enormous. There Is
a gold mill on the Cane Springs prop
erty.
IN DUTCH MOUNTAIN.
BEGINNING at the far northern end Of
the Deep Creek region, Just where 1t
drops down into the desert. there Is a
great conical mountain of limestone
and uuartzte. called Dutch Mountain,
The naturalization in this camp Is very
peculiar. At an elevation Of about
1000 feet above the desert IL found n
series of Mt least two porphyry dykes,
which start on the northeastern corner
of the mountain and run In an arc Of
a circle across the canons and over the
ridges for distance of three or four
miles. until they cross over the crest
of the mountain 10 the south adjoining
Gold Hill, and forming over half
circle. These dykes both appear to dip
the same at about an angle OF 40 de-
grees away from the mountain The
contact Of the porphyry with the lime
stone carries a vein or iron or lead ore
varying from a few inches to 10 or IL
feet, ana going in many places nearly
pure lead carbonate, or galepa, carry

This series of veins is taken up by
the Garrison and the Monster mining
propertiec,
Just over the state line In Nevada
are located the Spring Creek, Glen
coe, Kinsey and other districts, which
rlghtfully belong to the Deep Creek
region
