Buckhorn was the first camp to get
into Communication with Palisade. and
with the energy characteristic OF the
| place there is now established . mail.
passenger and freight service with the
8. P. ct Palisade.
The rumor that was started to the Ell.
feet that the Buckhorn Mines Company
had shut down is entirely without foun-
dalton. The continuous difficulty OF
getting in heavy timbers was only in
creased BY the washout, but II looks
now that independence Of the railroad
has been declared. and supplies viii
come in overland, il not for the mine d
least for the merchants. The Buckhorn
Mines Company and the railroad Of
ficials are in close touch 1t 10 said, and
the mine people stand BY the railroad,
but necessarily car do 90 only when
they want to feel ashamed for o consci.
ous misdeed. Three weeks have elapsed
since the e. & p. went out with the
food. and moi . step has been taken to
put it In shape again. This is not
much to boast Of.
But Buckhorn is not 10 . kicking
mood. 1t is too full Of good luck, hopes
and real worth to give much time to
anything except its bright prospects. II
has been . lucky camp. lucky for lite
promoters. lucky in getting Siebert.

and, lucky in the capitalists that In.

Buckhorn 10 . camp to-day, and one
that this year will furnish more real
mining information, worth reading,
than any other camp in this State. And
the Buckhorn Mines Company. II %
inclined, could wake mp the mining
world. But the management, while
courteous to newspaper men, work mines
and not newspapers. But all OF the
secrecy possible TO man cannot hide
the great ore dumps at Buckhorn nor
the values found In them.
So that the people Of Eureka County
may have no misgiving as to the future
of the camp Of Buckhorn. it should suf.
ice when they know that in the prop.
erty Of the Buckhorn Mines Company
there are approximately 300 feet OF
underground development work done,
and practically all Of 1t in commercial
ore. The crosscuts on the deposit, il
such it be, are in places so feet, with
only one wall found. All of this has
been done since September. 1909. Surely.

horn.
It lie just, however. to state that while
the above summary is correct, yet it is
not furnished by the management Of the
property for publication. although as it
came to the writer publication was not
mentioned and therefore not prohibited.
But it could not be hidden, II the Ma
sonic order had it a. q secret.
Buckhorn 10 not q one mine camp,
although only one mine has been de-
veloped. There are parallel mineraliza-
tions of . magnitude not yet deter
mined. McCrea has ore in two places.
Hsrper and Plyme have ore in the New
Centennial, John Swan has $50 ore. q

Snyder, in the Four Mile portion Of the
camp. opened up orr. The Buckhorn
mines found their ore on the Casters
Sandlin. Wilbur and others have good
indications - far south as the Horse
Ranch. This list Of discoveries IL made
up since the snow left the ground bare
and made prospecting possible.

horn. The place is . good q to 60 TO
for ground floors. but there should be
no rush there. Men to do work, con-
sidering the difficulty Of getting in sup
plies, are plenty; within q month, how
ever. there may be something to be said
the other way.
The Snyder Hotel should be finished
this month. and then the aocommoda-
tions will be suitable. There are two
lodging houses running shifts, at pres
emit. Mays and the Keller & Nickels.
Both are a. good - can be expected.
Building was stopped by the washout.
but it wa and promises to be lively.
All Of the town lots of the original town
company are sold, aud the growth has
necsssitated additions BY McOres. and
by Herper and Plyme.
Il 10 no use to prophecy about Buck

to see it town Of 5000 inhabitants before
Fall. 5000 who from present develop
ments can live and be supported from
work there.
