Uri b. Curtis, who has been in Raw
hide for the past several days, returned
from that camp yesterday and speaks
in the most glowing terms as to the con
ditions there. He said: cit is GER
tainly marvellous. When one stops to
consider that there are twenty-seven
hoists in operation and more EN- route,
then one can have some idea of the
amount of mining going on. The min
ers and leasers are having a hard time
to secure wagons in which to make ore
shipments aud on the o from the
camp you will pass innumerable teams
hauling the high grade to the railway.
The water will soon be in the camp and
with the grading for the railway nearly
completed it is my opinion that Raw
hide will be a hummer this fall. The
autos are crowded daily with people go
ing into the eamp.'-Bonanza.

ordinary ore that runs from $50 to 800
