RUBY DISTRICT
 MAY BOOM AGAIN

Indications of a revival in the mining game and the possible de- velopment of some rich placer claims in the Long creek region of the Ruby district, is outlined in a letter to k. H. Hartwich from his friend and mining partner E. Coke HI.
 The ground owned jointly by Hartwich and Coke Hill is on Fourth of July creek, tributary of Long creek, and laymen are handling it at present. Coke Hills remarks on the ground and the general situa- ton in the town and district are as follows:
 In commenting on the rich strike on Fourth of July, he says:

They have taken out altogether I understand, about three thousand dollars, but have paid no royalty.
 They have on the ground hun dred and fifty or two hundred cords of wood, and are now looking fer a plant to go to work right.

They were in here the other day and wanted the lease ex- tended five months to give them an- other summer, but | toli .hem would not do that withou5 ,ur con. sent, and I am not inclined to do it at all. I told them they would have no trouble in getting another lay from me (and they will no) f everything is all right, but I do not care to extend the option to purchase.
 prepared lay papers in blank | for the ground above-two outfits want to take it and Eddie said he would give it to one of them-that is not all the ground above, but that immediately above where Livingston & Go are.
 Generally speaking, the camp S,oks 1 about the same as usual. Some new pay struck, but not enough to war rant any rush.
