THE future of the Rampant min ing district is brighter this summer than at any time since the discov- cry of Little Minook creek. The shipments of mining machinery, including hydraulic and dredging plants, to Rampant this summer will aggregate 75o tens. This in- cludes the Big Minook hydraulic plant, the lower Big Minook dredg ing plant and the Ruby and Hunter creek hydraulic outfits. In addition to these, 1t is safe to say that the smaller plants and thawers ordered by individuals will amount to 50 tons additional.

THE reports from Fairbanks are not encouraging to a miner who has only his labor to depend upon. The country is tied up for a radius of 50 miles. From all letters seen from the camp the past ten days, the fact is plainly evident that there is twice as many people in in that section as is warranted. If this be the case Rampant will not be tbe loser ill the long run.

Mound House the Center Of Activity
I at Present,

Mound House the Center OF ACTIVITY
at Present.
The fact that the Tonopah road is
q go and the additional freight that
is passing through on the local road
has made Monud House. the transfer
point of the c. & c. one Of the bust
est little camps in this nighborhood.
Extra men have been added to the
pay roll until today there are more
men working about the station than
at any time since the road opened.
The freight that goes over the v.
& r. and that that comes from the
stations along the c. & C. is all trans
ferred from the broad gauge to the
narrow gauge cars. This means that
every pound of freight that is trans
ported over the C. & c., has to be
handled by the men employed at the
freight sheds All of the ore that is
forwarded from Tonopah and other
points along the line is taken from the
small cars and loaded into the larger
ones. 1t is the same story when freight
goes out All of the heavy building ma
terial for the Tonopah mill and the
HOSTS etc., have been transferred from
one car to the other.
Now that the material for the new
road is passing through, it has neces-
STATED the employment of a number
of extra men to meet the occasion.
A day and night force is kept on the
move and it is then that difficulty is
felt in the endeavor to keep the track
clean. For the next few months, or
while the rails and ties are passing
through, there will be great deal
Of work at the Mound House.
Probably the slowest article that
is handled at this point is the oil that
is sent over the road The oil for Kee-
Ter and other places where it is re-
quired for fuel, comes in tanks. This
is transferred from the big cars 10
the smaller ones, and when the wea-
Their is cold, it is days job to drain
one car into the other. The new Tono-
pah mill and the Esmeralda Consolida-
ted are to burn oil as a fuel. which.
with the other enterprises, makes this
one object a general complaint at
Mound House.
A number Of Carson boys are now
employed at the station. while from
the present outlook and the future
that is before that place. it seems that
