of 1900 feet with richer deposits of ore blocked out. While the property con- sists Of small holdings it has been a constant shipper of the camp of valu- l able ores of silver, lead and zinc and copper to the shelter at Needles and the daily output of to , cars was handled at the property by the Santa 1 Fe branch out of Kingman. Old resi- dents and miners claim that it was no uncommon thing for this property tol produce string or native silver in such large balls or chunks as to necessitate the breaking of same before they would go in the bucket for hoisting.
 Other near properties which have produced thousands of dollars running up to a million and a half are: The Nerrimac. Distaff, Schuylkill, Schenec- tady, Elkhart, Sunday School and the Empire, besides numerous others. These properties are practically all in group and are located on the well de- fined veins running north from the Tennessee. The Bullion is sinking main working shaft with 500-foot depth, the object, before cross-cut- ting as is the Schenectady. It is re- ported that the Tennessee and Schuyl- kill will join forces and build large mill to take care of their production as well as the other nearby properties, and the site is the north part of their holdings and the railroad terminal; they also have plenty of water for milling purposes.
 The Elkhart owners send information
 to the camp that large eastern interests
 will in the near future take this prop erty over and start work preparatory to putting the property in the real pro- ducing class again. It will be remem- bered the Elkhart's proouction in days l gone by amounted to over one and a | half million dollars in mostly rich sil-
 yer ores, and the deepest workings be- l ing 500 feet The old Elkhart mill still
 stands on the property as reminder | to the old timers of when she was a
 real producer and the real life of the
 camp. That was before the drop of
 silver and during the prosperity of
 Cripple Creek and other noted silver
 camps. The high prices for the past
 year of silver ores is reviving the sil-
 yer camps of the country and the
 Chloride district will again take its | place among the real silver producers | of the country.
 Il The Chloride Queen. consisting of the I Silver Mountain and Sunday School l groups, lying just north of the Elk
 mart ana west or ll1e E1nplFe IS Sledu- fly sinking their main working shaft
 and have encountered their main
 ledge at the 215 foot level with good ; values in silver. The superintendent
 reports having reached the permanent
 water level at the 20Q-foot level. It is the intention of this company to cross cut and drift at the 250-foot level, and [ with the drift run under the mountain ) they will have a depth of six to sever , hundred feet, and they are confident ) of opening up large commercial ori } bodies of silver, zinc and lead. Theil [ haul of less than a mile to the presen : railroad terminal, and with the pros pect of a mill nearer makes this one o1
 the best prospects in the district Sev.
 eral engineers of note have reported l very favorably on the property ant
 with the best management and prob
 able nearness to entering the perman
 ent shipping class gives its numerou 1 stockholders good reasons to feel con
 fident of their wise investment.
 The Copper Age mill is reported t, S have made satisfactory arrangement : for their water supply with the Mime = sota- Connor, and furthermore their oi l, process of treating ores of the distric f is more than encouraging to the whol i section.
