the camp. 1t is situated in the Dia-
mondfield section of the district, ad-
joining the Goldield Daisy S~yndicate's
property, another good shipper. A great
deal of development work is being lone
in the Great Bend and a large body of
ore is exposed in a portion of the work

shaft. The heavy flow of water and diff

which shipments have been recently
made. Within a few days the workings
will be connected with the new shaft.
