It may prove Interesting to your readout for '"" ,0 lu feW """ from this high nltlluije, where puru air and water are so plentiful. I should add enow, lor this uaetiil article Is also plentiful everywhere. Not being aa accustomed to this locality as we should be, la why we are found here so early lu tho season. Having heard so much ol hto about this locality as a mining tump Is also another reason why wo oreheroio toon. Wo rcgrit Hiatal this Unto but llttlo can bo said about mineral. Thclo Is too much snow In hccs for this. However, If every mining claim found here turns out good there will be onougli ore toauply the en-lire en-lire wtst, and it considerable portion of tho init also. Thu wholo country around about hero la full of discovery inomitnehlr. Home allies lm u taken up from ten to ntloten clalmt, or n-taken n-taken other onta that look ten or Hill-on years olJ. Their location papers are uc:.rly all ualid lbOl and not a stitch of work has been done on them, which go to show why they were taken up, -'for speculation only." During thu La I'lJIa excitement, people of nil classts and callings ruined up hero tJ take up or monopolize monopo-lize Ihu whole reglou, thinking that the boom would contluuo unabated. Ileal estate mm, fanners and others who know nothing about ml ma and inluliigiire name! among the lot. "A tree Is known by Us fruit." It Is perfectly per-fectly easy for a miner to determine who hae taken up moat of theao claliue und for what purpoie Ihry were taken. W n will say, however, that pcrhapa half n dozsu clnlmi havu beou taken up by regular priapectors aud miners, forthiir work la to beaeen. 'Hiiro Is but llttlo protection In our mining lawa for genuine prnapectors. Men take advantage even of thu late as It Is. How long will It tako a person per-son to locate half a di ten old diggings by slmly rebuilding the old mouu-mentaand mouu-mentaand making out na many papers, or perhaps ut up a slake or so n each claim? One can eailly do thla In ouu day. Hie coat of recording for each claim la (1 to l.Ii. Nothing moro la to bu done until the first arsessment falls due. Thus It Is, nnd this Is why so little development la doue. There has bruu no boom litre Judging by the looks of things, for not a dollar hasbeeiispeulon thu relocation even of these old holes. 1 am thinking that should a rich strike bo matlu hero (which Is not at all unlikely), wo would see the whole gang up here In abort liotlco looking up their numerous numer-ous estates, and "wo unto the man who would be found 03 tho ground." As I stated lu the beginning, but llttlo mining news on lie given this time. If desirable t may be able to give more on mineral lu the neat writing. HuniiAiiu. JHNl.NU AMU OTHER MOU'd.
