OOOO HIKIHO OUTLOOK TO THB OOMIRO THAB (Continued on Page 4.1 The mining outlook for the vicinity of Gold Hill was never more promising than at the present time. On nearlv every train men arrive from all see tions of the country to look over some of tho .properties that arc on the mar ket here. Practically all of the larger quartz properties are being worked and all the placer mines now have an abun danco of water. Two new stamp mills have been built within the past vear and many other steps of advancement have been taken. Tho preliminary work of installing the big electrie shovel on Kanes crook has been completed and its installation is delayed only on ,nc count of the non-arrival of the machin ery. Tho boom in the Nevada country is over and now the eyes of the. mining workr will turn to a country where more practical mining and less wildcat- ting can and will be done. It is bein demonstrated every day that the ledges or wiuinern uregon nave depth, a fact that is generally disputed 'by mining men who are unacquainted with the country and its formation, and whea this is generally known money will b more readily secured for working the ledges that are now laving idle, Fot the outward appearances we predict a busy year among the mine in the vi cinity of Gold Hill.
