BRIGHT OUTLOOK
FOR SILVER CITY
Prominent Mining Man Who Is Interested
Tn Properties Here Predicts Good
Things For Coming Year

close to the creek and which viii pass un-
der the American Eagle, Crown Point
and Lone Tree claims, developing the re-
spective veins at a depth of approximate
ly 300, 800 and 1900 feet. While only a
small force of men is at work on the prop
erty, efforts are concentrated on this tun-
mel and within the next 80 days the men
expect to strike what was called the Mug
get vein by the original owner, A. A.
Berg, who took out $1,000 from cigar
box full of ore from the vein on the sur
face workings and which he predicted
would develop into one of the richest
veins known in the history Of the camp.
The re-opening Of this group of mines
will put new life into the old camp and
already there is considerable talk Of de-
veloping other properties. The recent
rich strike in the Banner mine in which
Mr.. Honstead is a heavy stockholder, he
states, has caused quite a stir among
others interested in the mine and it is
their intention tosp push work on the vein
making such rich showing. He believes
there is no doubt but that work will be
vigorously pushed in this mine as several
rich veins have been tapped there and
none of them thoroughly developed
Those in position to know claim that
the mine will be producing ore in paying
quantities within short time The new
mill will be putin operation in the spring.
There has been considerable talk in the
camp lately of opening the Sinker tunnel
next year A deal has recently been
closed by the White brothers, owners Of
the Flint property, with an English syn
dicate, who are to furnish funds for the
development work and preparations are
now being made to begin operations at
once.
One of the best indications that the
coming year will be hummer in the
Owyhee district is the movement on foot
among local mining men and capitalists
to build finely equipped custom mill,
having capacity of 500 tons, where all
prospectors can have their ore treated at
a minimum cost. The mill will fill long
felt want in the old camp as there is
considerable amount of ore which has
been taken out Of new properties on the
ground and although good assays have
been received from the ore it has never
been treated in any quantities and there
fore its average quality is unknown.
There appears to be a general good feel
ing among the mining men interested in
the camp and with several rich strikes in
old properties it is certain that large
amount Of money will be expended there
next year and number Of the properties
put on paying basis. Evening Capital

SCHOOL PROGRAM
VERY INTERESTING

Silver City school closed Friday for the
holidays with an excellent program given
by the pupils of the lower room. For
weeks the little ones had been diligently
working for the event, preparing decora-
tions, making little gifts and learning
songs and Rotations
At 80 the room was crowded with
parents and friends of the school, who
shared the delight of the little ones at
sight Of the beautifully decorated room
and tree, made more attractive by the
pretty gifts which the pupils had made
themselves.
Everyone listened with delight to the
program and the parents were filed with
justifable pride at the excellent manner
in which their children delivered their
various selections. Everyone was loud
in praises Of the little ones and Of their
teacher, Miss White, whose painstaking
care and indefatigable zeal deserve the
many nice compliments that were given
her.
At the close Santa Claus came and dis
tributed the gifts and candy.
Credit is due Mrs. Avery for her much
appreciated assistance in making the pro-
gram success and in furnishing candy
and materials for the decorations
