experience that never IN the history of
mining has so much been accomplished

One year ago there was not a sign
OF a house in all this region. Until
last February, eight months ago. not
a pound OF ore had been shipped from
the district. Since then millions of
dollars worth Of gold has been pro-
duced and mines stretching over an
area of approximately three by six
miles in extent have been opened UP

mined beyond bubble. New discover
