when those levels were reached. 1t is
extensively developed.
The Zena group of six patented
claims, Burger and Schlund owners, is
a promising property, as also the Nc
Carly group of three, also patented,

now being driven on the creek level
to tap the ledge at good depth.
Work will be continued through the
winter. It was on this property that
Mr.. John lreton lost his life in a snow
slide some years ago.
These are but part of the many
properties which have been sufficiently
developed to show the extent and size
If the ore bodies deposited in these
nils, awaiting capital and intelligent
to make this camp one
# the great and successful producers
# the state, and Gem county's one
