high as $500 and $500 to the ton.
A mining boom is sprouting at Ruth,
White Pine county Nevada, one of the
tributary camps of Ely. With the COM
pletion of the railroad, a few days
hence, it will take on proportions that
will astonlsh the old-timers it is
thought.

p. B. McKeon's famous Talisman prop
erty, in the North Star district, Beaver
county, has been closed, Joseph String
fellow and James Ingebretson the we'll
known Salt Lake attorneys, being the
purchasers.
Hereafter when any one desires to
write to the Black Horse district, he
will have to direct his letters to Bur-
rift New, for Burritt is now the name
of the town and postofiice, instead OF
Black Horse. The district, however,
will still retain its original name.

others, and which is located right in

Charles Brewster, New York min
ing expert, has just returned from a
visit to the Black Horse district in Ne
vada, and is favorably impressed with
Black Horse as a coming camp. He
examined a number of mines at this
place, and says that it is his belief
that Black Horse is the most highly
mineralized district in the Sagebrush
state.
Salt Lake has taken the lead in
smelling, and the great improvements
under way at Garfield will only serve
to emphasize the city's greatness as an
ore center. At the present time the
smelters of the Salt Lake valley are re.
ceiving ore in generous quantities
from mines in Utah, Nevada, Idaho.
Colorado, California, Wyoming, Mon
tana and Oregon.
Bullfrog, Nevada, is expecting an ex-
cepuonal boom this fall and winter.
The indications are that the initial
boom will be far eclipsed and that the
district will be overlooking with sub
stantial improvements this winter The
completion of the Las Vegas & Tono.
