Letter of the 26th devotes considerable space to an article on Steamboat Springs and its outlook owing to the rich gold find which promises to be a wonder It states that some years ago geologists who camped at that point for some three months in their report claimed that from the properties con tained in tlie waters of those geysers I that there could not be any doubt but that gold was being precipitated with in thirty or forty feet from the sur face This claim was further sub stantiated by geologists sent out from the California State University At that time the springs were spouting from thirty to forty feet in the air the water being about 140 degrees With the construction of the Sutro tunnel many of these springs became extinct and it was while boring for an extinct spring that the discovery of the rich prospect was made Owing to the peculiar formations into which he had run Mr Hopkins decided to have the rock assayed the result being a value of $2000 and over to the ton Every bit of the property In this lo cality is now staked out Mr Hop kins and the Butters Brothers' who have made a fortune mining in South Africa are at work with a force of men and machinery sinking shafts The News Letter claims that in all the purchase and bonds will aggregate $2000000 and that within sixty days the territory will be proven and if the deposit is found which Mr Hopkins struck the amount taken from the field will be wonderful The highest assay given is $4400 the lowest $987 to the ton and with geologists reporting the precipitation of gold hopes run high and that sec tion may prove one of immense wealth Reno Mining Co to Develop Claims This is the busy season of the year when the stockmen congregate about the corridors of Reno hoatelries' and discuss the ins and outs of
