Mr. Condon has performed wonders in the way of development work single-handed single-handed and alone, and the present leasers. Messrs. Hatch, Urief Prisk and Richards, havo done a very large amout, and every incline, tunnel, drift and cross-cut, from the grass-roots to the deepest workines, shows ore. The largest portion of this ore is, of course, low gra le, but it proves the continua tionof the ore channel and is conclusive ' evidence to the mind of any one who has made ore-bodies a study, that when depth is obtained the mine will be a rich producer. Thvro M not a pros-pectiva pros-pectiva mine in "he camp that will show up to better advantage oa close inspection than the Creole. The present leasers have made the property pay its way, and are now taking tak-ing out ore that is first class. This ore is coming from a vein that is about three feet wide on an average, anil carrying nearly two feet of rich ore. Those rich streaks in the vein have been coming in and going out at regular intervals, but never before have they shown such strong indications of remaining re-maining permanent as the ore now being stoped. It is unnecessary to mention the different shafts, tunnels, winzes, drifts and cross-cuts that have been run; suffice it to say that all show ore, with the exception of one shaft, and a fifty-foot cross cut from that would, in our estimation, show the largest and richest body of ore yet uu- foot vein was cut which carries ore assaying as-saying 20 ounces silver and 15 per cent lead. The ledge, which is about fifteen feet in width, can be traced through the length of the property, which is about 6000 feet. The owners Claim that it is the eastern extension of the Anchor.

Fish Springs, it seems, is a camp of vastly more importance than the people of this city are aware of. I'ho first discover, dis-cover, es were made there last December; Decem-ber; theso wiT'i of such an encouraging encourag-ing character that the district almost iniini d lately began to attract the attention atten-tion of prospectors throughout the Deep Creek country, and even those from other places more remote. Later developments have more than fvllillod the expectations at first entertained, enter-tained, and it would appear that the place is quite likely to be quite a factor the coming season in ti'.e ore production produc-tion of this territory. Lighty locations have been made and recorded in the district, all of which are said to show more or leas ore which is generally of a fair, often of a high grade. In the greater number of tho claims located lo-cated the oro is found in pockets or blowouts which, from surface indications look to be of a good size, having the appearance of being huge chimneys of quartz and ore coming com-ing up through the iimu or porphyry. Where these packets are found the mineral is a carbonate or some variety of solt material probably a changed iirno stone which carries a considerable value; but wherever galena is found it is in a vein having indications of continuity con-tinuity and strength. In some of the other ciuims located, on which more development has been done, like tho lilack Dragon, (ialena and Last Chance, tho mines are well delined contacts con-tacts between limn and prophyry walls which are traceable on the surface for a considerable distance. In these the ere is either a heavy galena or hard gray carbonate which assays well, and in the one mill run that has been sent in, that from the Galena, tho results were more than Mattering and should the property hold out for any length of time it is one of the few properties ever opened which has pniil from the first moment that a pick Has stuck in the ground. The area of the district where good ore has been found up to this time is about two miles square; outside out-side of this limit there are the same formations and some largo veins of good looking iron, but it does not give any assays of consequence in silver. ing, were twenty-six cars. lieports of the r'ch discoveries made in the Fish spriugs district have had the effect of seudiug a largo number ol prospectors in there. A new district 'has been organized and laws bdopteil lor the government of miners in making mak-ing locations. it is rather unfortunate that some united effort cannot oe made to sink below be-low the sulphide plane of the mines of Silver City to prove the existence or tiie reverse, of paying bodies of ore. There seems no reason why true fissure veins that were rich and prolitable to a depth of S2U0 feet or more, should be--come barren of value whou water level is reached. When the reports are read of the profit made in the black Hills by such companies as the Homeslake, on ore that will ouly run from lour to six dollars dol-lars a ton. some conception can bu formed of the great impetus that would be given to Piugham if the Stewarts, Mo.'s 1 and '.', were only worked, botli of which are reported to have worlds of quartz which will mill that much. Whether tho Deep Creek road is built this summer or not (and there is no reason rea-son to doubt but that it will be, hundreds hun-dreds of prospectors will llock in there, for the reports that have been circulated have attracted the attention of people throughout the went. It would not Oe surprising if travel would become so great as to demand the establishing ol a stage line, after which a railroad w ould only be a matter of a few mouths. The Eureka Chief gets wrong occasionally. occa-sionally. It accused The Times hist week of faking from its columns the news cf thu strike on the 7l)t) foot level of the Piiiliion-IJeck The Times had the matter written up with full particulars partic-ulars twelve hours before tho Chief ratno into its otlice. This is about the substance of what the "Chief" said ot the discovery: "It is rumored that a striko has been made on the 700 foot level of tne Bullion-Beck." It would seems that the large flows of water, which have been encountered by the Alliauc! in Us tunnel, would soon covered in the mine. The idea seems to prevail that the lease held by Messrs. Mostly, Nichols, F'lindt anil Varcoe on the Apex ground is on the Apex proper. His not, how ever, but on the upper works.

Mr. Potter says the country surrounding Wallace for a radius of fifteen miles is the best mining camp in the west. Every hole sunk is the development of a new mine. The output out-put of the camp is about 10,000 tons per month, 00 to 70 per cent lead and HO to ho ounces silver. P. Porter is now receiver re-ceiver of thi?
