MINING PROGRESS
AT CAMP REDNOUR.
spceial TO the Chief,ain.

| Special TO the Chiciiain.
Doyle. Feb. s.-ProgresS is being
made in Camp Rcdnour. formerly
known the the Bot Canon. Gunni,or
county. Colo. The new camp IS
situated in an ideal locality, wherc
nature. ever generous, has supplied
the guich with an abundance OF pure
water and an incNhausiiblc supply
OF good timber. There is also an
excellent wagon road from the camp
to Doyle. n station on the ID. & X. g.
railroad. the distance between the
two points being less than seven
miles. with a comparatively easy
grade. The geological formation -
wonderful. the canon is shaped like
an enormous horseshoe with the
creek passing through the lower or
open part of the same. The mineral
bearing formation conSitS OF por-
phyry. hornblendc eneisS, phonolitc.
ba salt, conglomcratc and dark
green seiisi. the character OF which
miners have been unable to deter
mine. but they arc now having a
qualitative chemical analysis made
thereof.
There is one ledge or vein OF this
schist that is 100 feet IN width and
/, rises perpendieulariy to hciRh,
of 100 feet on each side OF the creek.
There are two more lodges OF sehis,
thirty and forty feet in widin. respect
lively. They all carry good values.
averaging from 81 to Sis per ton.
Underlying and ovcrhanging these
lcdgcs arc large veins OF mineral
bearing quartz, one OF which has
been uncovered a distance OF thirty
feet without finding the foot wall.
There arc others ranging from ten to
twenty feet in width, and with fur
thcr development will certainly as
tonish the public.
The principal properties in the
new camp are as follows: The Ken
tucky Mines and Milling company OF
Manzanoia. Colo. Their property
comprises twcn,y-cight claims. They
have one OF the finest tunnel sites
imaginable. and i, will eventually
crosscut some rich veins as they pro-
grcss with the work.
The Santa Fe Mines and Milling
company. owned and operated by a
number OF railroad men OF Pueblo.
Colo. with c. II. Hinklcy as super
intcndcnt. control eleven claims adj
joining the Kentucky property on
the north. They have n well con
structcd tunnel. one hundred feet in
| length. and are in vein OF schist
and tale, the gold values are in
crcasing daily, and when they en-
counter the contact vein for which
they are driving, expect to have good
shipping ore.
The three Jumbo claims arc owned
jointly by 7. J. Kane. Dick Gibbons,
and V. Z. Roberts, the big schist
vein already mentioned passes
through these claims, also through
the Kentucky and the Cambrian
Chief groups.
To tile south and west of the Ken
lucky property. William Z. and Vic
tor Z. Roberts of Denver, own
twenty claims known as the Cam
brian Chief group. There has not
been much development done as yet.
with the exception OF the usual as
scssment work. However. during the
performance OF tina, work. quartz
veins. averaging from 10 to 20 feet
in width were encountered. the low
est assays showing $1,000 in gold.
the highest $1,000, truly splendid
showing for rev camp. chcmica.

Nickel and Vanadium, further de-
vclo obmcnt such as the Kentucky peo-
plc are about to make will surely de-
monstratc the existence of these rare
minerals in paying quantities. The
big veins take the following trend,
about 30 degrees w. of N. 80 dc.
grccs S. of E. proving beyond all
question that they pass through Ohio
City, thence through Camp Ken
lucky and on the Tomichi Dome. The
geographical position OF the camp is
most favorable. lying as it docs. two
miles N. w. of Waunita Springs. two
Imiles S. w. of Bowerman. two miles
Is. E. of Ohio City, and seven miles
IN. E. of Doyle.
