there's appears to be substantial foundation for tn camp.
The latest AND perhaps that which has the best claims to a permanent camp
from actual development accomplished Is te new camp Of noinsnv", soe ~
miles south Of aoldheld. This camp is in the Lime Point region where a few
o,dee operators have beer quietly at work for the past year on the Great
western property. No ont realized what was going on there IS Lime f"nt was
mt Of the course of the general travel and also because those mS' mmeoaasey
,r+aresnd did not care to make a stir for the time. But II at once Godhed
wakes up Il find It Lime Point nj of the best mines in the state, that Is a shipper
Of high Grade IRE and of such a character as to indicate q permanent producer for
yeast to come. Investigation Of thu surrounding district fonoweo' aa tnn a

of n a few days, and a town sprung up in a night. Within a week there was a
telephone line, and work. mas begun o a pipe line to furnish The camp with a
bounhful supply Of good water. Hornslver is perhaps IN cam BEST tnoushs OF

The News has always held to the belief that Goldheld would eventually be-
m tn hub o. a largem mining area, covered yer with mining camps all trb
utary, in a business way, to GoMfed the metropolis. And GU prediction Is being
verified, though even sooner than re- thought
