A NEVADA DISTRICT
4 Mining Mans Description of the
 Panamint Country.

Great interest is felt in all the west in the developments of the Nevada mining districts. One that has come into notice more recently is the Pan anint about seventy miles southwest of the Bullfrog section and in the same general mineral belt as Tono- pah and GoldfeId. This region at tracted a great deal of attention a generation ago because of it's great sil- yer mines but it is only recently any notice was taken of it's gold resources. Many big strikes have been made there within the last few months.
 The following description of the country has been received from F. s. Pheby, well known to the mining men of Arizona. He was at one time in terested in mining operations in PinaI county. MT. Pheby says of the Pan- amint:
 'InformatIon received in GoldfeId is to the effect that the Panamint range in the vicinity of Rallarat along the California; Nevada state line. is enjoy ing a boom, and that indications war rant the predictions that the historic camp will be practically rehabilitated by a large population. Several par ties of capitalists and mining engin- eers are at present Investigating the possibilities of the district.
 Generally speaking, the Panamint range offers an opportunity for the man of small means and the prospec- tor as it does for the capitalist. There are already sufficient good mines known to attract energetic and active population, and when the country has been thoroughly prospected much new wealth is bound to be added to the present good showing of the district
 Every one of the formations which are to be found in most mining sec tions are to be found there. States, quartzites, limestones. and granites are found, running parallel with the strike of the range. Many of the veins lie in contacts, and the most perma- Eent conditions exist for depth of ore bodies. It is said even the most skep- ttcal mining experts cannot find fault with the geological conditions of the range. Water is found in each of the many canyons. always enough for milling purposes and in some cases there is enough for power
 "The country is quite active at present, but has never enjoyed boom- Many mining men are visiting the section and before many months 1t is expected that it will receive proper attention.
 Jail canyon. some twelve miles south of BaiIarat, has some of the richest mines in the entire range. h this canyon is the Gem group. which has produced a large sum of money and the rich Burro mine. which has only been recently located. The Bur TO claim shows a well defined ledge over twenty feet wide all Of which will pay to mill, and d rich shoot over two hundred feet long will run close to a hundred dollars. This property. it is said, with development should prove to be one of the largest mines in the southwest, and like all other neglected claims in this section. needs capital to develop it.
 ''There are several mines in the vii cinity Of Ballarat that have mills and are producing well. The World Beat CT mine has a five foot vein that is plating in the mill, over one hundred dollars per ton, and thus far it does not seem to create much enthusiasm in this wonderful section. Much Of
