Section Prospecting.

Mazuma. New. March There is con
siderable interest being manifested in ths
range of mountains Immediately east OF
here, where there are a number of prop.
critics where silver and lead prospects are
said 10 exist. With favorable transporta-
/ ton and mining conditions, which are now
studied as carefully by large investors as
the rocks of district. a repetition OF
Pioche's resent history may occur.
There has been a temporary reduction
of the working force of the Mazuma Hills
mine Their mill, however, continues tc
hammer away on the ores from theiI
leases. The last run on the Reagan was

Ray Harris has disposed of his interest
Charles a. EllithOrpe. superintendent OF
the Seven Troughs Mining company, has
assumed charge of tie lease The Kinder
garten mill is now treating the ores. The
very novel spectacle of sixteen-mule teams
hauling ores from the property to the mil
is one of the diversions for newcomers 10

There are more men working in the dis
trict than at any time in the camps his
tory No sooner does work cease on one
property than several others start UP.
There are seven active properties in the
Vernon end working their full quota OF

work is that much of the property is being
patented. This expense usually follows
only where the mineral value Of the prop
erty is established beyond doubt.
Busy in the North End.
At the Farrell end the Seven Troughs
Caesar has commenced work on a 750-foot
tunnel. which will crosscut three veins
and attain dep-h of 100 feet.

an average of over 800 to the ton.
The Badger Hills property, which owns
its own mill Is working force of about
twenty men. This small mill is said to he

As often happens, the modesty. true
merit and confidence of a practical and
experienced mining man keeps properties
OF great merit in the background. while
the sensatiOnals have too much of the
iimelight. Z. T. Hathaway is now in sole
control of the B0ckhOTn in the Vernon

BuckhoTn last spring. Owing to long
siege of illness the work he was pursuing
with great vigoT and success was delayed

il will be one Of the most modern mills IN
the state Engineer Skea, IN charge Ci
the construction of the mill. Immediately
after its completion, will take up the
work of cheapsning power for the district.
A plant will probably be built a Lovelock.
where coal can be had cheaply and power
transmitted by electricity to this camp.
With this Improvement s. to SO ores can
be treated here. Of which there is a great
abundance, ana which would greatly &C
celerate the development of a number OF
properties that are now being held back
