cold and wet spring has retarde,
mining operations in this camp, bu
now work is being pushed vigorously
A wagon road Is nearly completed vi
Placer Creek. This road is built t,
give access to several promising pros
poets in that part of the camp. TIL,
Jayhawke and Scarlet have considera
BILE ore on their dumps ready to b.
hauled to the Jayhawk concentrating
mill at Red River as soon as the roat
Is completed.
Rogers and Luce Brothers have
force of men at work on the Jayhawl
and are now taking out some good ore
They recently cut into what they be-
lieve to be the main vein. If this
proves to be the case and the values
hold out as hoped. they will probably
put in new plant at the mine for the
exclusive treatment of their own ores,
leaving their present concentration
mill down on the river for custom
work. They have SO acres of patented
and 20 acres Of unpatented ground in
good region. Their ores are gold and
silver-bearing, gold values largely pre-
dominating and partly free milling.
With good management and skillful
treatment the Jayhawk ought to prove
a steady and profitable producer by
the end of the season.
The Scarlet is another good prospect
showing assays up to 25 ounces in gold
per ton. This property is owned by
Waco, Texas, people who have applied
for patent survey.
The owners. Of the Victor group have
caught their lead and are getting some
good copper lead ore.
The churn drill that has been drilling
holes on the Anaconda group for sew
eral months past has about finished it's
prospecting work, and Its owner is try
ing to be induced to move it to Santa
Fe to drill well for the Capitol Gus
todian board.

River as summer resort. Two FAM

besides several families of former res
idents who have returned.
Two charming and jolly Texas school
marms, Miss Moore and Miss Evans of
Waco, recently arrived to spend the
summer. This Is their second season
