INSTALL MANY
HOISTSAT RAWHlDE
rvIDENCE THAT MUCH WORK Is
BEING DONE IN THE NEW
CAMP

Seven nOlStS are Hoh up dHu III OPP
oyation in this camp OF a few months
old These are on the Kearns lease
No. ., the Ogilvie-Reynolds lease,
the |. X. L lease, the Royal Tiger
Stinson lease, the Miller, the Truett
and the Murray leases.
This is going some for a camp o.
4he e of Rawhide, but 1t is moth
ing to what is coming. In the next
ten days there will be at least a
dozen more hoiats in place. There
are that many now on the way into
the camp, and the road between here
and Schurz Is thick with them. Be
fore the end Of a month there viii
he not less than thirty hosting plants
in operation.
This will serve to show better thla
anything else the work that is being
done in Rawhide, and the faith OF the
men In the camp, who are behind
the work. 1t will serve also 10 show
the extent OF territory that is being
developed. The hoists will extend
from Murray lease, which is in the
lower part Of the camp. to Balloon
bill, and the Grutt hill, next in line,
end beyond that to the /. Y. L. hill.
They go also over to Hooligan hill,
which is just across the road from
the Murray and Balloon. and still two
miles further away to the Royal and
Tiger.
The Murray lease would have had
its hoist up and in operation this
week, but 1t overturned in the wagon
on the way 10 the shaft and was
ruined. The Ogilvie-Reynolds hoist
was put in operation and twenty-four
men are nov at work In three shifts.
This Is a wide area of country un-
der development. and there is a good
deal of money going into the ground
This is what men who invest in the
securities Of a camp want to see
They want a run for their money. and
they are surely getting this in Raw
hide. There is not one of the prop
critics over which there has been
placed a hoist that has not a good
showing. Every hoist will represent
an average depth OF 100 feet, and
while this is not deep mining, IL ia
deep enough to be encouraging to
the men who are Interested. When
YOU find better values at a depth Of
a hundred feet than on the surface
what more a a mar ask of a camp?
Considerable attention has been
drawn to the little fraction lying
next TO the Murray lease. which has
beer taken up by Rawhide Consol;-
dated Annex company. The company
has been prospecting the ground,
with a view TO sinking a shaft, and
the showings up to the present are
very encouraging.
No piece of ground in the camp
is more happily located than this
fraction. which was located after the
big rush, and which was subsequent
" sold TO the present owner for a
very tidy sum. II lies next TO the
Bald Hornet claim, upon which are
located two OF the greatest leascs
in Rawhide. the famous Murray lease
and the Big Four lease.
The strike that was made on the
Kearns lease No. / early this weel;
has developed into q vein Of six
inches in width, and the strike ia
considered one of the most import
ant that has occurred in that sec-
ton OF the country. This IS the
judgment of J. G. Flynn. superinten-
dent of the Rawhide Balloon Hill,
Queen, Coalition and other proper
ties.
Former Lieutenant-Governor Hut
Crimson OF Idaho. has been here for
a week, and Is much impressed with
the camp. He has inspected as many
properties as his time would allow.
and finally wound up by Offering to
take a quarter interest in the Baby
Balloon lease. He offered 10 fur
nish for the interest. q hoist, gal
lows frame, cars. tracks, and TO put
everything in place for the opera
ton of the plant.
The offer had a very liberal look,
but it has not yet been taken, Wal
ter Clark of the Clark Brokerage
company, demurring at the size of
the interest.
The Baby Balloon has some into
prominence during the week for the
reason that ore has been opened M
on three sides of the property, and
y does not seem possible that tho
