The VEINS GUOD And RICH

A visit was made into the Kingston
range July 6 by a representative of
the Times, and he was struck with
wonder and amazement at the won
derful mineral possibilities strewn
here, there and all about. The re-
gion is one mass of conglomerate
mineral conglomeration. Iron
abounds in plentitude. 1t is a store
house for the coming needs Of ma
tions and the Kingston range could
safely supply the whole world and
then some. Copper is another. Here
it lies both in the sulphide oxide,
prettily tinted in the various colors
of the rainbow. 1t can be picked
from among the pebbles along the
various washes. Silver, too, runs at
a ratio Of an ounce to a unit in cop
per, and it is not classifying the fact
when we say the Kingston range has
been stumbled over by many in
search of a great thing when it was
beneath their feet for the taking.
John Chambers roamed into the
district on the 10th day OF Decem-
Der. 1906, behind his burro, and Jack
stayed. He declares the country is
good enough for any Ia He has
had a wide experience in the art of
mining; being no novice he has
staked his all and has made the dis
trict his fixed abiding place. John
bought all of the right, title and in
terest to Cub Lees water right, the
only visible water in the country, on
the east side of the range. He
plunked down the cash, grabbed up
the deed, and that parchment he de
clares has wildly placed him fore
most among the coming millionaires
of our country.
John has a partner, D. F. Bady,
the mercantile prince of Sandy. Badly
says: John, play the limit; stack
up the blues on this town" and
John is doing it.
A railroad is being talked of and
the Senator Clark system has sur
yeyed into the new copper field al
ready. The senator scents copper,
and when few nad ever heard of the
district, the Montana millionaire has
had his engineers in the field and
preparatory plans laid for this i'm
portant feeder.
So far, on account of the obscurity
of the district, little has come out
and mighty few have gone in. Pros
pectors are in the hills now ana
available ground is being secured.
John Chambers and his partner. D. F..
Badly, have had the pick of the
bunch. From among them a Boston
syndicate have secured a group. The
Greenwater Brokerage company fig
ures, too, on some very fine claims,
and we believe have Incorporated
them. The Druks, Reed & Lachman,
Coffin, Baner and several others go
to make up the crowd of happy-go-
lucky bunch who are building up
the Kingston range.
Water Is being developed in Horse
Springs canyon, and an ample sufi-
cheney has been obtained to answer
the demands of any sized reduction
plant.
Phillip Foley has a number of
claims In the prospective stage, but
would be numbered among the de-
yeloped mines were they located else
where. Foley is one of the typical
cast of characters so often met with
upon the desert. His home is amid
the sand dones or up high among the
craggs and canyons of forbidden
passes, in these parts more torid
than the abiding place of his satanic
majesty. Foley has good claims. He
contemplates cashing in and return
ing to his dear old home-Montana.
