Souta Srar.—Iu this camp are the Taylor and Jupiter lodes, with shafts in ore, from 80 to100 ft, in depth. The Mt. Vernon and Bibhins are looking well. Mippie Star contains some of the most promising ledgea in the Dist. West Camp is the last discovery. The ore in this camp is quite free, and can be easily milled without the interveution of roasting furnaces. Most of it is of a high grade. Proapeoting ia heing actively carried on here, as well as throughout the entire Dist.; and frequent discoveries of great richness reward the miners.
