Gold Basin.

Gold Basin, owing to its situation far from the base of supplies, has long been neglected by mining men, al though of late years several good propositions have been taken up and worked quite successfully. One of these is the Eldorado. This mine was discovered in the late seventies and its ores worked in mills and arastras. Thousands of dollars were taken out in this way, but the process was ex- pensive. Hundreds of tons of rich ore were found on the surface of the claim, which produced the first bullion taken from that district. At first it was thought that the mine was a blan- ket. but later development has proven it a Assure. At the present time the shaft has reached a depth of three hundred feet on the vein and is in good milling ore. A ten stamp mill and cyanide plant are handling the ore from the mine successfully. The Arizona-Minnesota Gold Mining com pany is working the property. This company has developed water for mill ing and camp use and while working under many disadvantages has done large amount of development proving the property to be a good one.
 The surrounding mines in the same mineral belt are the O. K, Cyclopic
 Tiptop, and many others. The vein: are all large and some of them have excellent pay streaks. The scarcity O
 fuel and water makes the handling O
 ores in the district an expensive prop

Cerbat.

Cerbat was one of the first mining camps in the Cerbat range of moun- tains and has always been a producer of high grade gold ore. The early ores from the camp were reduced by arastra and later by small milling plants. A peculiarity of the camp is that on the north side of the canyon the ores carry gold almost exclusively, while on the south side of the canyon the same veins carry lead, silver and gold. Of the mines on the north side of the canyon the Vanderbilt, Golden Gem, Cerbat and Flores are probably the best known producers. These mines have produced nearly one mill ion dollars in gold since the first work
 was done on them and are today cap able of making big output of the vel | low metal. The Vanderbilt has been
 opened to a depth of 2S0 feet and at
 the bottom the ore is far richer than
 at any other point where ore was ex-
 tracted. The levels now being run
 are in ore running more than 3OOS to
 the ton in gold and the vein has a
 width of nearly three feet. A mill Is
 soon to be placed on the mine to ham,
 dle the low grade ores from the upper
 workings of the mine, of which there
 are immense quantities. The Golden Gem mine was one of the first mines
 of the camp and produced some nice
 ore from the outcrop. Later T. L. Ayres took from the mine fully 2OO,'
 COOS in gold and the main shaft has
 only reached a depth of 4OO' feet, nc
 stoping having been done below the
 200 level. This mine is one of the
 most promising in the camp.
 The Cerbat mine was another of tho big producers of early days, having , credit for production of about 300, ,OOOS
 The mine carries values in gold, silver ! and copper. The rich ore has beer taken from the mine, yet there ar' , good mill values still in the property , It has been opened to depth of ap l proximately 200 feet, but no driftin! | has been done from the bottom of tn . shaft. The vein is large one and WI l believe it to be one of the best prop ? critics in the district.

gypsum, which may become of large commercial value. In the north part of the county black tourmaline Is found in large quantities. This stone could readily be used in place of jet, which it would displace were its sus- ceptibility to high polish and brilliancy known to the public.
 Everywhere the prospector may go through the mountain ranges of the county he will be confronted with the wonderful mineral possibilities. Gold, silver. lead and copper is to be found in every range and in pay quantities. For years the chlOrider made big money from sales of ores from the smaller veins and now it is essential to the life of mining that the big veins be brought into the producing class. It is from the big and untouched veins of the county that we may look for the producers of this century. Every range has its big lodes, carrying values that ought to make them desirable properties. Some of the veins are so large that a statement of their size would be unbelievable to the miners of other mining states and territories. It is no uncommon thing to see two claims in width covering the outcrop of ore on some of the veins. But 1t Is nevertheless true that these enormous veins must be handled on an immense scale to make them pay. But once on pay basis they are good for century of production. Take for instance the Father de Smet mine, of the Black Hills: This property has been pro- ducer since the seventies and will con- tinue to pay for years to come. Yet l its ores have value of less than four dollars per ton. Among the biz veins of the county there are hundreds that carry values better than four dollars
 and conditions are in no wise worse
 than in the Black Hills camp. Once
 get the big mine of the county in the
 hands of operators with the means tC
 open it up in a systematic manner anc
 put in machinery to handle the ore'
 economically and the county will b'
 overrun with investors looking fol
 similar mines for investment.
 Again there are great natural ad
 vantages in the county in the matter of economic power plants, such as cleo
 trical installations on the Colorad'
 river, using the vast volume of wate of this stream for purposes of genera tion. The Grand Canyon of the Colo rado is in the county and offers induce ment to capital to utilize its might walls to dam the river and harness it water power. The distribution of cleo tricsl power in the county is neces sity and as soon as few of the bi mines are put in a proper state Of de velopment power will come to decreas the cost of bullion production. Wit the introduction of inexpensive powe hundreds of mines can be worked tha are today lying idle. Speed the tim l when capital will recognize this cour : ty in its proper light and take advaI
 tage of the latent resources.

Union Basin.

Union Basin is one of the most ex- tensively mineralized sections of the whole Wallapai district, there being such network of veins traversing the hills and gulches of the camp that It IS really bewildering. Chief among the veins is the Silver, owned by James Mulligan, having a vein width of nearly 100 feet. On this vein Is the

mine has produced hundreds Of tons or gold ore.
 Along the same ridge on which the four above named mines are situated are many smaller veins of ore which have produced largely of gold. These veins have been worked in spasmodic manner, but with proper handling they may be made to produce nice revenue to the owners. The whole section of country from the main Ger bat range to the valley is gridironed with these small veins. To the east of the Cerbat mine is the Bunker Hill, owned by John Mulligan. This mine has just shipped a carload of gold-cop- per ore to the shelter at Needles that is expected to return about l,OOOS net. The ore is good and the vein quite large. In the present workings there are two veins lying within few feet of each other and both carry values in gold and copper. Men have been at work developing the mine for some time and have succeeded in getting it in good shape. Regular shipments of ore will now be made to the shelter.
 The Robert Emmett is one of the large veins of the camp and carries good values in gold. It is situated to the north of the Vanderbilt and has been a producer of rich gold ore.
 w. B. Campbell has a group of gold mines in the camp that are said to be among the most promising of that sec | tion.
 Jack Little has a group of mines west of the Flores upon which he has done a great deal of work. These mines carry value in gold and copper. The veins are large and give promise of a great future.
 The Ark and San Antonio mining company own the Esmeralda mine on the north side of Cerbat canyon. The mine is equipped with a steam holster and has been opened to a depth oi about POO feet. This is one of the good veins of the camp and could readily be made one of the largest producers 1T that section.
 John Barry owns the Nugget mine one of the northwest branches of tho Flores vein. Years ago this propert!
 was known as the Ida and Rhod;
 Lewis and was big producer of golC
 and silver ore. The vein is good one
 On the south side of the canyon are the St. Louis, Fountenoy, Flagstaff Little Man and other good properties The St. Louis and Fountenoy carr! rood values in lead and silver, while
 the Flagstaff is a strictly silver mine These properties have been developed to a considerable extent and have beel good producers. The St. Louis re l gently shipped a carload of ore to tn, Needles shelter for which l,2OOS wa l received. Another carload is now be ing prepared for shipment.
 . To the west of these mines are tn ? Twins, Blue Lode, New London ant ? Champion. These mines produce, l thousands of tons of ore running higl 5 in lead, gold and silver. The Cham 9 pion and New London have been tn . greatest producers, but the owner = have worked the ore bodies out to tn $ change, between wind and water, an 9 there have abandoned deep worE g There is no doubt that the mines ar g all right and will carry the values

North of Cerbat is Paymaster basin, in which is situated the Paymaster mine. This property is owned by the Victor Paymaster mining company, Of which F. N. Chandler is superintend- ent. The mine is equipped with a steam holster and the main shaft has been sunk to a depth of POO feet. The mine has produced large amount ot money above this depth in gold and silver. The lead is quite large and well mineralized throughout. The present owning company has group of claims surrounding the property and have done some work on 1t. A force of men has just been put to work on the mine to unwater it and begin the extraction of ore.

Camp Presents Great Showing

The camp of Round Mountain stands out dstinctvely from tn other gold
districts of Nevada particularly because of the extraordinarily rich deposits #

mining world its Red Top, Sandstone and Kendall, mines that have given forth
gold ore If exceptional value; Bunfrog has causeds several ectrfying thrills
through mining circles of the country with unusually rich discoveries; Tonopah
has maintained a record of production hat has given a remendou prestige 20

Round Mountain the Mecca Just Now

Since the date of the original discovery of gold lin the Sunnyade property
Round Mountain, has been the Mecca for hundreds # prospectOrs and mining
daily, and ofenth he second transfer is recorded before the ink IN the frstd deed
is dry. As a high grade free milling proposition the Round Mountain country
has few equa1sa and there is an abundance of water for milling purposes.
One of the most promising properties in this new camp is the Manhattan
Round Mountain Gold Mining company's claims, situated between the big strike
on Round Mountain and the famous old Jefferson mine that produced over
$3O0OOO0 som thirty years ago. From careful surveys and prospecting N this
property, it is firmly believed that the rich lodges pass through the entire length
of the four claims owned by the company.

Tearing Down the Aqueduct.

A force of men has begun work on
the canal aqueduct below Mill street,
tearing out the heavy timbers prepar-
atory to getting at the stone, which
will be used by f. .. Hartman to rip.
rap the river bank. Considerable head
way was made in the work yesterday
and it will not be long before the en-
tire structure will be removed when n
deep chasm will take the place of the
dilapidated pile of stone and timbers
that have SO long greeted the eye at
that spot.
The aqueduct was strongly built;
the heavy abutments as we'll as the
piers are as firm today as when erect
ed. The woodwork alone shows the
ravages of time and had the canal not
gone out of commission when it did
the aqueduct by this time, would prob
ably have had to be rebuilt.
The old aqueduct will produce near
ly as large quantity Of timber as of
stone. The former is probably of lit
tie value except tor fire wood, while
The stone are of the very finest. The
top beam of the upper side of the
aqueduct has answered as foot bridge
for the employees of the big mill, who
ind that route a convenient "short
cut" The removal of the aqueduct
will render crossing at that point i'm
possible except when the creek is at
its very lowest stage. 1t is not unlike
ly that some new means of crossing
later on may be installed at that point
by the borough.

He Was Not It's Owner, and For u

The house in which Victor Hugo died
In Paris was in the avenue which
bears his name and close to his statue.
Arsene Houssaye In Les Annales
says that he never addressed a letter
to him in any other fashion than
To Victor Hugo.
At His Avenue.
Yet the house itself had modest ap-
pearance. Its chief charms were a
beautiful garden, with great trees and
a delightful fountain. and the extraor-
dinary richness Of its furniture.
The house did not belong to Victor
Hugo. 1t had been built by the Prln-
cess de Lurignan. and Hugo finally
tried to buy it from the princess. To
his amazement she asked $4,000.
The lady smiled. THAT is nothing,
