For 90 years Mr Lloyd has been
resident Of Phoebe. He has seen the
camp at ms best. as Neu as az as worst

properties OF the district. and Tor a

which is COL John Weir OF New York.
During the past year Mr. Lloyd with
William Cook. has been working
lease ou the Bristol copper mine at
Bristol and during q period OF SIX
months they have shipped 10 the SAT-
Lake ymeiters $500 tons Of ore which

lots OF Low GRADE ORE
Mr. Lloyd says there Is am immense
Tonnage of ore en- the Bristol mine that
win assay from Sg5 TO $50 ton. Under
present conditions this ore would hard
ly pay % ship; but with a railroad into
camp and "a reasonable freight tarlh,
there would be good money !u It. This
is the case On other parts Of the district
MS well. and Mr.. Lloyd says there IL
not the slightest doubt but that the
camp could Immediately furnish the
railroad with goo tons OF ore daily, while
| a few months later this output could
boz very materially increased.

that Senator Clark is going 20 push a

"Of course. said Mr.. Lloyd today,
interest Is mainly ccntered on the op-

GATES have been spending a LOT Of
money down there. and the work they
have been doing Is Of permanent

business or else they would not be put
ding so much cash into the enterprise.
