Mines, Mills and Mining.

Custer county is one of the richest mining sections in the world,
but at present it needs better transportation, and capital to develop
its rich mining districts. In some states and territories mining
and agriculture, though progressing hand in hand, are yet nearly
independent of each other. The farmers market is widened by
the miner, to be sure but not relying on home consumption ex-
clusTvey, he can exist and prosper, but in this county the miner
and farmer depend upon each other to a great extent. Let us for
a moment call the attention of the capitalist to some of the most
important mining districts and mines in the county, viz Mackay,
with its great copper mines; Morgan creek; Garden creek lead and
silver mines; Bayhorse district with its famous Ramshorn. Skylark
and dozens of rich lead silver and gold bearing mines; Poverty
Flat; Centennial Flat; East Fork; Clayton; Slate creek; Thompson
creek; Robinson Bar; Stanley Basin, with placer and quartz; Fish
err gold mines; Sheep Mountain and Seafoam, with their hundreds
of rich lead-silver mines; Loon creek, placer and gold quartz min
es; Washington Basin gold mines; and the celebrated Yankee Fork
district, which is gold-silver ores, and embraces within its confines
hundred OF mines, the most prominent producers at this time being
the Lucky Boy and Yankee Fork. Custer county also has several
quartz mills and smelters-fve quartz mills at Custer; a dredge
boat and mill at Stanley; a smelter at Clayton;concentrator at Bay
horse, and a new 800-ton smelter at Mackay. In Custer county has
nearly 5000 located mining claims, and yet the vast region has not
been half prospected.
