So extensive is the country surround
ing Rampart that after filling pages with
descriptive matter pertaining to.theuiost
extensively explored districts, as we have
done, we still have remaining at our doors
an enormous territory of which very lit
tle is known, except by observation of an
occasional prospector and which Judging
bv its low rounded hills and enormous
deposits of cement gravel, is destined to
become a field of most extensive on

orations.

Bear creek has a number of miners
digging its placers and a large force of
rock men developing the quartz abound
ing in that section.
Plans are being laid for developing the
immense cement beds on Squaw creek,
an 1 Hartford, a tributary, will receive
deserved attention. Twenty 3Iile, apart
of which was staked late last spring with
some of its tributaries, being a west ermk,
will have no work done on it until later
ill the season.
Now timber is a consideration in most
of our northern camps but o.i that
; score we suffer no uneasiness nor deficicn
cv. This particular district through its
accessability, has furnished timber from
which a great part of Rampart is built.
, It produced a sufficient supply for the
construction of the military post at Tan
i ana and stands covered with trees of suf
ficient size and quantity to provide 11s
with budding and mining mater.al for
rears to come.

tributaries of leg ?d 1:100k, next week we
will present an article on Hunter creek.
