Prior to the panic OF 1907 there was no
more active or attractive gold camp In
the excitement belt Of the west than Lce.
Its surroundings were romantic, being
within reaching distance OF the famed
Death valley. and hundreds OF thousands
of dollars were paid for properties which
can now be had for n few cents on the

which will range from So TO SIS gold

to encourage the search for more. and TO
assist materially the grade OF rock TO be

Lee, however. is distinctly milling
camp. Its distance from a market now

be developed for all milling purposes.
There may or may not be merger in
