It was an interesting experience to
anyone, especially to one who
never visited a stamp mill.
The Vesuvius camp is a busy
tamp. We found twenty to twenty-five
men actively employed in
tlio mine and at the mill, each do
ling his work assigned under the

wnose masterly control of all the
details of this work keeps things
moving successfuly on.
It is no small task to open up
and develop a mine and bring it to
a dividend paying basis, this great
achievement is being accomplished
as last as the conditions will war
rant, by the management of the
Vesuvius mine. We predict a
great future for this mine.
We passed over the new wagon
road to the Oregon-Coloiado mines,
four miles to the southeast over as
good a road as we saw in the dis
trict. We visited tho upper work
ings of this property, also the long
tunnel on the Confidence claim,
and found ore on the dump and in
the tunnels in great abundance,
thousands of f et of tunnel work has
been done on this property and
there is n sufficient quantity of ore
mined and in evidence in the mine
to warrant the establishment of a
big plant at this excellent property.
We took several fine specimens
of ore from the tun
nel aud could get it in fifty or more
places in the tunnel. Nearly all
the work done has been in the ore
and ere long another dividend pay
er will be added to the list of suc
cessful mines.
Oil ride to the Riverside horse
hack, following the mountain trail
was full of thrilling experiences
and surprise s. When one consid-

In this mine a vein of ore is e x
poscd for a distance of 700 feet that
will average 1 feet wide, 3"i0 feet
deep which would bo fso.OOt) cuhic
feet or 70,000 tons. A tunnel IKK)
feet lower and closer to the mill
peuetaites this same property a dis
u ' each of these properties, this is truly ers that all the supplies for these
miners, and equipment for the
mines has to be packed over on
horses and carried over these moun
tains we wonder at the progress
made. The mine is situated on the
opposite side of the mountain from
the Oregon-Colorado, near a fine
stream ot water, with beautiful falls
which will supphy povfT for the
working of the mine.
We went into the 1200 foot tun
nel, 800 feet of which has been in
good pay ore giving a depth of 800
feet. Ve found in this Riverside
mine as fine a body of ore as one
could wish; the ore giving its var
ious colors was a pleasing sight.
It is not a question of ores in
these mines.
It seems that these properties
have every asset to successful min
ing. They have good pay ore in
abundance, in true fissure veins,
