Camp, Maynower. and Iron King claims,
shafts are now down from SO to 100
feet. and in only one instance has tn
ore ''plnched."
Development work on Gold Hill has
now reached that stage where the vein
system can be described with some GER
lainty. There are two parallel veins,
each from four to FIVE feet wide. that
run through the Union No. ,, Jump
ing Jack Big Pine Crescent 81, George,
Riley Fraction, Mayhower, and Annie
Laurie. Between these two main veins,
which are a thousand feet apart, are
four or five cross assures. The malE
veins carry milling ore OF high grade,
going from $40 TO $50 per ton, and the
cross veins carry average values VI
. from 5000 to $500 per ton. These cross
veins extend beyond the parallel veins
p and into other properties.
ON the opposite side OF town, the
Manhattan Combination, Mustang,
Broncho, Chlpmunk, and Seyler- Hum

Sol Camp, superintendent Of the
January mine at Goldheld. arrived
here today. He said THE showing

wonderful I ever saw In my life. Al
the rate they are sacking ore on tn,
six or eight claims situated there, the
production will reach S5,000,000 be-
fore the end Of the year. That's &c
times more than Cripple Creek pro-
