 According to latest advices from the Nazina. 165 men are working on Chititu and Rex gulches; most of the claims are let out on lays for the season, and the men are mak- ing big money. A large amount oi prospecting has been done on the benches and the claims there are proving very rich. As labor de- mands from $l0 to sl5 per day, and the ground being well adapted to work with machinery the principal owners have decided to come out early and make preparations for next season. Large hydraulic plants will be sent in this winter and work will begin very early in the spring on large scale.
