ment, with fifteen to thirty per cen, royalty on production, depending or
 values in the ore The owners O. 1 claims who are not prepared to oper. ate have been unusually reasonable, and this has given the camp an i'm Detus because men of reasonable means have been able to secure he'd. 1ngs
 It is entirely problematical, but I am free to state my confidence in the camp. The probabilities are. too, that | if the veins of the camp should not have depth the ore taken out to where it ceases would more than pay for the work done. The ore is rich l very rich. So far. at least, it is in paying quantity, and we feel it right to advise whatever reasonable devel opment is necessary to prove depth.
 Dr. NJ. D. Johnson and c. W. Nc Donald of Bisbee have the first lease east of the Camp & Ish strike. where was found the richest ore. The veIn apparently pitches directly into this 1 lease.
 Byron Patterson and Fritz Harring- ton have the lease next to this. ana work began Friday.
 Leonard Loehr aud J. N. McGregor have the next lease. and the work is progressing. This lsase is just west of the main strike. All leases are 60x250 feet. These people also have lease on the Sylvanite of 300 feet square.
 Loehr & McGregor nave bonded from the Clarks the King Solomon and Big John claims. These run par ralel with the main strike and adjoin the Broken Jug.
 The block system of leasing is in vogue. All leases are exempt from sale till the expiration of lease. In some of the holdings, it is said, the ore is between seyonite and porphyry.
 Dr. Johnston and associates have an option and twelve months bond on the Handcar and Skycsraper claim, dealing direct with the owner and To- cator. Jack Wicks. This is a large ledge lying at an a! gle of seventy five degrees E. and W. on the crest of the mountain ana can be traced !. from the west to the east side. As says run from s24 to $165. This op- tion has been taken by group of Bisbee people, and is now being in- corporated as the Golden Skyscraper Development Co. They will begin work soon.
 The Johnston syndicate has bonded eight claims near the Woods claim and an organization styled the Gertie c is being effected, this company to work the ground. The initial work will of necessity be a short crosscut tunnel, and work oI this will begin in a few days.
 Dr. Johnston was second ip the field and he and associates have many of the best bonds in the danger zone. The whole crowd will push vigorous ly, and as each member is a mining man of experience they give conf dence by their activity.
 F. A. Walters, who has operated in Cripple Creek, has taken up a num- Der of good claims fSirly close to the discoveries, and these he has named Grandview, Hombre, Lake Shore, Grandsite, Denver. He has organized the Grandview Consolidated company, and purposes pushing vigorously. Mir. Walters will sink prospect holes on the vein and after determining where the work to make a mine shall begin he will push it. He has also secured the Gold Bug claim. This claim was discovered by the men who were try ing to make pay out of a dry placer field too niggardIy to make good wages. These men followed up the gulches in the hopes of striking pay" and at the head Ht one of the ar royos they found this Gold Bug ledge. On the surface the rock gives rich results, and as there appears to be a ledge in place carrying the mineral Mir Walters believes he has good chance for making a mine, if Ine veins of the camp shall go to depth. He purposes beginning sinking here at once, and it will not be long till the stability of the whole camp shall be established, or otherwise
 Wm. A. Soule, A. R Malone and H. H. Warburton have bonded seven claims southeast of the camp proper ties. They can trace the ledge 200 feet on these claims. They Will shortly begin a tunnel that shall tap the general field, carrying tellurium.
 The Golden Skyscraper, owned by J. B. JerDigan and associates, has been sold outright tc a number of people in association, who purpose developing at once.
 The altitude of the highest peak is about $500 above sea level. The highest workings will be about 800 feet above the townsite.
 A petition has been forwarded to Washington for q postofice to be called Sylvanite, and E. J. Clark, one of the discoverers, has been named for postmaster, but no results have been obtained yet on this. MT. Clark is really a mining nan, having been on the old Aventurrera at Sabinal, Chih., years ago. He is about the only one of the original parties who understands mining. Mir Clark stat ed to me that he was attracted to the place by the placer gold, and that he and his brothers had made many locations, but he said that the dry washing was unprofitable and was practically abandoned some time ago. and that for some months no work of this character has been done.
 Fred Sutter, city attorney of Bis bee and candidate for representative to the territorial assembly. is the first lawyer in camp, and he has beer kept busy enough, up nights till mid night burning candle grease making out leases, and one night Loehr was his assistant, the dutles of the latter being to hold the candle and steady the soap box doing duty for a table
 Fl. ". Jorgesen is in the camp from Blsbee.
 wm. E. Pomeroy, manager of the Lustre Mining & Smelting Co. ot Magfstral Mex, has holdings in the new camp, and was there personally the other day.
