SETTLES.

not abate in the least; on the con-
trary it is increasing as the days go
by, and there will be another crowd
to leave here for the camp as soon
as the weather settles. People are
going there for the purpose of get
ting claims, leases, and taking in any
opportunity that might offer They
are going to open up stores, and in
all probability there will be branch
of Wells Fargo & Co. in there in
about two weeks.
A. F. Burton, who owns a wood
yard in this city, returned from Raw
hide a few days since and his testi-
mony is in line with what others
have had to say about the merits of
the camp.
1T is undoubtedly a rich camp"
said Mr.. Burton, land about the
easiest thing to find there is gold.
OF course there has not been suffi-
cient development there to determine
what is going to be found. but with
all the surface showings, which are
the most remarkable ever seen in
any camp, there can be no doubt that
there are great ore bodies in the
camp
There has been great rush of
people there, but the great majority
of them have no money, and it would
be my advice to miners and working
men to keep away from the camp,
until capital has got in there and
given it big start. There is no
money in there now for anything,
much less labor, and it is a poor
place for poor man to go"
Key Pittman, who went to Reno to
attend the meeting of the directors
of the Rawhide Mining and Reduc-
ton Company, returned yesterday

torate, H. H. Hunter resigning, and
