Next Boom will Be In Panamint.

Generaily speaking, the Tailaiiiiie
range of mountains offers as great an
opportunity for the man of small
means and the prospector as it does for
the capitalist. There are already suf-
ficient good mines to attract an ener-
getic and active population, and when
the country has been thoroughly pros
pected, much new wealth is bound to be
added to the present good showings OF
the district.
Every one of the formations which
are generally found in most mining sec
tions are there. One sees the shists,
states, quantities, limestones and gran
ties: all running parallel with the
strike of the range. Many OF the veins
lie in contacts, and the most permanent
conditions exist for depth Of ore. Even
the most skeptical mining experts can
not find fault with the geological rom
ditions OF the range. Water is also
found in each of the many canyons.

The country is quite active at present,
but has never enjoyed any boom. Many
mining men are visiting the district,
and before many months it is expected
the section will receive proper atten-
ton.
Probably the most important of all
the canyons is Jail canyon. Here are
located some of the best mines in the
entire range, among which Is the Gem.
This claim is owned by local men and
has a good record from its high grade,
free milling ore alone. But recently
the same parties have discovered a
strong vein of sulphide ore, carrying
more than 800 per ton in gold; several
shipments of which have been made to
the Val Verde smelter in Arizona.
Further up the canyon is found the
rich Burro mine, which was discovered
by an Indian. The vein continuously

reaching a width of twenty feet. a rich
shoot runs better than $50 and the
whole vein averages more than $40 to
the ton. Twenty inches of water runs
across the mine and an abundance of
timber is found further up the canyon.
This is a free milling proposition and
should be a very attractive group for
the capitalist.

Star claim. owned by James McHugh,
showing a strong we'll defined vein be-
tween slate and diabase. The entire
ledge will pay we'll and assays as high
as SIG have been obtained across six
feet. With capital for development
these claims will prove big producers.
None of the claims in this canyon have
had the attention they deserve.
Four miles to the south of Jail canvon
is Surprise canyon. Here the once fam
IL mines of Senators Stewart and Jones
are located, but nothing has been done
with them for the last thirty years.
However, recently Jack Curran has To-
Gated some good claims in the vicinity
OF the old silver camp, which he is work
ing to a profit. These veins are prob
ably of the same series as those OF Halls
canon, just to the north.
Many rich strikes have been made in
this historic range in the last few years,
but they have never attracted any at
tention. 1t is confidently expected that
with the influx of an energetic popula-
ton, such as is found in Goldtield and
Bullfrog, that many sensational strikes
will be made. The many rich prop
critics now lying idle for want of cap
ital, when developed and worked, will
return handsome profits to their fortu,

This range of mountains, as Josiah
Spur, Geologist of the United States
SAYS, is one of the most important in
the southwest. and should be as rich as
section in the United States. 1t is
hoped that before the year is over that
the prospector will get into this range,
where he will undoubtedly find many
rich lodges.
