REGARDING RAMSEY DISTRICT
STRIKES AND Developments THE ORDER OF THE DAY
EVERYTHING NOW POINTS TO 4 LIVELY BOOM IN
THAT CAMP DURING THE COMING SUMMER

Ramsey, New, March %, 1907
Editor Appeal:
l enclose you few rough notes as
per agreement, regarding the recent
developments in Ramsey and the gen,
eral aspect of the camp.
In my opinion, and l am not usual
Iy optimistic regarding mining camps
/ believe that this summer will see
a big impetus of miners and investors
to this place.
The recent strikes Of rich ore at
depth demonstrate that this camp
is going to be a high grade and not
a low grade proposition, as first sup
posed. When you see $4,000 rock
coming out of a hole $50 feet deep
you don't any longer consider it low
grade.
The dykes here are something as
tonishing in width and the more you
investigate the immense lodges the
more you are lost in astonishment.
If the ore in half these dykes is as
rich as the recent strikes here l have
no hesitation in saying that you will
see a camp as rich, if not richer than
Goldield or Tonopah.
There will be a phenomenal rush
merit. | expect to see a town of 10,-
600 people here by January 1st, next,
and you can just paste this prediction
in your hat.

The past week was devoted TO sink

the crosscut from the 100 foot level
The shaft caused some little trouble
the first of the week owing to a
change in the formation. a gOuge
coming in made the ground somewhat
GIuI-uly and occasioned several min
or cave-ins. The loose ground ha:
been caught up, however and gooC
headway is being made. The shaft is
nearing the 200-foot mark and there
is still in evidence the Symmetrical
and well defined foot wall. Every
thing'is favorable for rapid prOgres:

the next crosscut will be reached, 26(

The big supply of sacks ran out las
