That good prospects found on loose creek, on Livengood and on
 he divide between Livengood and Mike Hess have been the means of
 lispelling the gloom which has pre- 7ailed in the Tolovana country con-
 erning the future of that camp, is
 he latest report which has been re-
 eived from yhat camp. From the ,lose of navigation last fall until
 he present time, particularly since he first of the year, the reports of prospecting done and holes sunk ir
 he Tolovana district, have been of he Tolovana --.lct, have been of anything but an encouraging nature, even though the fact was never print ed in local papers.
 According to the reports the good prospects have turned gloom into sunshine. The information does not state that pay has been discovered-- Tolovanaites are now too old in ex- perience to say that-but 1t does ,tate that the prospects found have had the effect of raising the hopes of the people of the entire district con- siderably.
 The chief find, according to the latest report, was made by Harry Buhro, who is prospecting on the sec ond tier, right limit bench on Moose creek. opposite No. 16 above. He has been prospecting there since the first of the year and according to the re- port, has at least -J feet of gravel which will pan all the way from 3 to 5 cents to the pan from where it was first found in the shaft to bed rock. This is regarded as an excel lent showing and Moose creek mining men are therefore jubilant over the discovery. The principal owners of the ground on which MT. Buhro is prospecting are himself. Dan McCar- ty and Henry Crook
 Experienced miners say that the bedrock on Moose creek is much more trustworthy than that on the Livengood side That is, 1t Is of such a character that if pay is found it is almost certain to be extensive. The bedrock on Livengcod creek is de- scribed as being of very treacherous nature, the miners being unable to tell by the kind of bedrock found whether or not their pay is to be chopped off in the next few feet by a different kind of bedrock.
 In fact, Moose creek miners are so enthusiastic over the recent discov- cry that they are already making plans for the future as regards their own ground. It is stated that the water question will not be bother some on Moose, should extensive op- erations be decided upon, as there are several "live' lakes at the head of the creek from which a practically i'm exhaustible supply of water may be obtained. Another good prospect reported from the Tolovana country Is that found on the divide between Liven- good and Mike Hess. The operators there are, said to be Thomas and Jones, two Rampant men. According to the report they struck pay at a depth of 105 feet in the shaft they have sunk practically in the top of the divide. And the fact that pay has been discovered there is not thought strange by mining men, for the req son that it is believed that Livengood creek and the streams on the Mike Hess side of the divide were once connected.
 Martin Nash is reported to have found good prospects on his Liven- good creek ground. Numerous other miners are prospecting on that stream but considerable work has shown that, aside from the good ground To- cated last summer. the pay occurs principally in spots.
