Camp is Going Ahead in Spite
Of Knockers

The sudden dismissal Of large
,,mber Of miners who have been reg
uarly employed for many months past
IN various properties in camp, has fur
nished basis for the starting Of ru-
mors. the fear laden IL think SO, . and
III report of camp conditions. To many
these yarns appear reasonable and be-
cause Of injury they may do the prop
erty owner and those who have pecuni-
ary interest, as well as the laborer now
employed and to be employed in the
future the writer will endeavor TO fur
nish report Of the facts and condition
Of camp. If in the future sobriety and
trustWorthiness of the man becomes
prerequisite to employment and vital to
the retaining of the position be the
capacity what it may) then the reason
for he diminishing Of forces viii ap-
pear pain enough for ali. Abuse of
trust and forfeiture of the respect of
employer for men who labored TO no
end save dissipation and vicious living,
may BE- safely counted as cause Of dis
charge. The majority are still at work
and the few who were fired succeeded
in besmirching the characters Of those
who remain. in the eyes Of their ilk,
only Highgrading has been carried
on TO the knowledge Of employers for
sometime and no doubt measures have
been taken to weed out the element,
who thrive by the systematic stealing
of rich ore from the mines. The con-
dtion of properties being developed in
camp Is such as to lend stability to
their valuation when considering pres
ent worth, and may be generally relied
upon encouraging for the future, OF
camp. The Springfield Nevada Min
ing Company are milling more ore than
at any time in the history of the camp.
As soon as the stormy weather has
passed, material and supplies will be
on hand for the carrying out of a most
elaborate plan Of development of their
properties. Supt. J. D. Poole left for
San Francisco today on business trip
Reports everything moving along nice
ly at the mines.
E. Otinghouse has every reason to
feel eated in possessing the Butte &
Gold Center. While men differ in
methods of doing 1t matters not so
long as the desired result is attained.
For years this ground lay unscarred
except by an occasional prospect hole,
drift, shaft or opencut made by leasers
or unpaid miner, dealing with the orig
inaI owner. To E. Oinghouse the
present owner is due the credit OF
making green hill source OF rlches
for himself and Of incalculable benefit
to this community. The property to-
day has a showing in lower level which
exceeds anything encountered at sur
face. Not in richness, but in guam
tity and quality. The concensus OF ex-
pert opinion has been that ore shoots
would not 20 down or that If they con-
tinued they would grow smaller in size
and values. The result of development
goes to prove that where ore values
decrease. and in 70 instance have the
values been too low to yield profit unoer
modern treatment. While facilities
are not at hand for the reducing OF ex-
tremely low grade ore, 1t does not les
sen the value Of such ore blocked out
n this instance the ore encountered IS
capable Of yielding handsomely under
present treatment, If the proper econ
orny is exercised in extracting ana
handling from mine to mill. Proper
