If Bohemia was only in ice clad Alaska or in some desert where no
one could live there would be no end to the amount of capital invested,
railroads and smelters by the dozen would be built. The main trouble
lies in the fact that she is easy of access at all times of the year, and in
vestors are always slow to take hold of something that is easy. The
experimental stage of the camp is past and before long the much talked
of railroad will bs a reality, and the smoke of the smelter may soon be
seen ascending from the depths of the great Champion or Horseheaven
canyon, where water, timber and ore abounds in inexhaustless quantities
only awaiting some method of working and the smelter is in our opinion
the best for this camp considering the vast amount of lead, silver and
copper our ore contains. Besides an abundance of the filthy lucie,
lime, feld spar and fiucre spar also abound in parts of this great
mineral belt.
