will positively dstermine these as
mill ores is vet To Ike determined,
bot the quartz veins lnterspersed
through the districl are very large
and promise enduring mines.
Twenty. four claims owned by the
Kentucky Mines and Milling Com

seven to 35 feet wide 1t is the in
teLtion Of Mr.. Rednour to ship in
the spring - soon - roads are in
good condition. The company has
a fine tunnel site and we believe
will develop good mines on their
property.
1t is in this section that the Santa
Fe Mining company is operating
under management Of c. +. Hinckley
They have on claims north of the Ken
tucky group, a well constructed 100
foot tunnel in schist and tale and
hope to encounter the shipping ore
soon.
7 ]. Kane, Dick Gibbons, and Y.
+. Roberts of Denver and Bowerman
own the Cambrian Chief group OF
20 claims which are promising pros
poets, but not developed beyond ten
foot holes as yet Assays from
quartz veins on the Cambrian Chief
return from sl3.GO to $50 and a
chemical analysis gives traces Of
nickel cobalt and vanadium.
There is every reason to believe
that Camp Rednour will become a
permanent addition to the towns of
the county and when properly de-
veloped furnish enduring mines.
