these mines is the Mountaineer mine, which, for nearly a decade, has kept running steadily and has yielded a splendid profit. Along the same belt of country the Nevada City, a mine that a load of debt once shut down, has again passed into a new era of prosperity and it is to-day one of the best looking properties of the district. Only recently one of the most promising looking prospects of the district has passed into the hands of an eastern company. We refer to the Spanish mine. The development in this claim, even at this early date is sufficient to indicate the yet undeveloped wealth of the district. Along the eastern side of the same contact vein as the Providence, Champion and others, the Federal Loan mine has and is now proving to be an exceptional good claim. Besides the mines we have already referred to there are numerous other claims which only wait the same means to place them on a dividend paying basis. Some, like the Home mine and the Potosi, are already being opened; others, like the Banner, the Murehie, the Sneath and Clay, the Mt. Auburn, the Nevada County, the Gold Tunnel, the California, the Pittsburg and numerous other claims, await but the magic touch of enterprise and capital to yield up their hidden wealth. es rae ee ee ae Fates pi ins district.
