II HISTORY OF CAMP.

There is great deal OF romance
wound mp in the recent history of the
Chafey camp in Nevada, and in view
of the short time the district has been
enjoying its second lease of life "A re-
markable amount of work has been
done. says the Humboldt Star. II was
not until last June that +. 5. Chafey
happened into the famous old section
of Dun Glen with only $50 in his
pocket. and in just one day he had
tied mp $40 900 worth of mining prop

how he was at work. and had extract
ed ores enough 10 make all the final
payments for the properties, within

day in June. Now there are half a

can be called mines. while fully a

Mr.. Chafey returned Ia Salt Lake

for an account of the district he
said.
We certainly have made good pro-
gress at Chafey. and AT the Black
Hole mine Since taking over The
Black Hole property We have driven
1900 feet of tunnels, shafts and drifts
We have installed a 3000-foot water
pipe line, made nearly a mile of wag
on roads, installed 40-horsepower
boiler and two-drill compressor.
We have built bunk and boarding
houses to accommodate hundred
men, an assay Office, mine office, three
residences. We have rebuilt the ole
milling plant and have doubled Is
capacity. There is not proposition
in the camp that has advertised
share of stock for sale. and there has
been less than $1,000 spent on ad
vertising the district up TO date, and
that spent i'm entertaining visitors.
The Black Hoe mine never WAS
in better condition than il is now.
Our mill is running in splendid shape.
and We are turning ont forty
