and good time is assured them.
The writer overheard a con-
versation between a citizen of
Rampant and one of Hot Springs
as to the merits of the two
camps. The Springs man con-
tended that his camp had the
greater population and that they
also had more prospecting going
on over there than was being
done on this side Of the divide,
but he was soon convinced that
he was entirely mistaken on both
counts when it was figured out to
him that Rampant has at this
time a population of $50 exclusive
Of natives, and that actual pros
pecting was going on in the Ram
part district in no less than 20
different creeks, and that there
were from 3 to Is miners work
ing on each of these creeks. Any
who think that Rampant is dead
are mistaken. and they have a
few thinks coming. Pay has
been taken from this side of the
divide since 1896, and our camp
is long way from being worked
out. We do not say this to de-
tract from the Springs in any
way, but merely in defense of
our own camp.
Recent reports from Chapman
creek state that five holes have
been put to bedrock this winter,
and that prospects have been
found in each hole as good as
three cents. AS an indication
that the parties who have been
working there all winter regard
their find as good, they have an
