the camp, which is clustered around
the original Bourne discoveries, and

easterly and westerly courses and In

around $500. and 1t has already been
demonstrated by the Investigations
made by Mr., Stevens, who Is an ex-
perlcnced mine operator. as well as
an expert whose judgment Is highly
regarded on the coast and In Nevada
among large mine investors, that b.
