Hainbow, owned by Zimmerman
ami others, is considered by the
outsider as a true vein, one that
will, in time, turn out to be one
of the biggest producers in the

uut farther underground as good
as the aurfaee prospecting indi

an ideal mint. On the Rainbow,

ples showed. 'He did not venture
an estimate of the value r»r llm

Concerning the permanence of
the hard rock belt, Mr. Jones said
that it hore the earmarks of sol
id permanence-more of them than
many of the camps 011 the outside
could boast of when bul two or
three years old. An admirable
feature of the hard rock develop,
inept in the Fairbanks district, ac
cording to the mill man, is the
J fact that there are so many small
.mills, either jn operation or being
'installed. The reluctance of cap
ital lo enter and gobble up every
thing in sight is to be taken as!
jail action favorable to the gener
al prosperity of the camp. J
