Lou P. K. Info
Continuing around Womack mountain, near the head of Poverty gulch, the Lou P. K. mine was encountered. This is the property which Mr. Roudebush referred to in his interview as having, in his opinion, "the best show" of any in the camp, the ore body, at thirty-five feet, being nine feet wide, and averaging $40 per ton across its entire face.
The shaft is being driven at the lowest point in the gulch, and how it can escape draining the surface water of three hillsides is a problem too complex for me to hope to solve. An ordinary windlass is being used, and four men employed in hoisting, the ore being sorted as it comes up.

Lou P. K. With Good Indications of Mineral
A two days' jaunt on horseback took me from Rhyolite hill, on the north, to Grouse mountain, on the south, and from Pisgah, on the west, to Wilson creek, on the east, within which boundaries some four thousand claims have been located.
The greater part of those have nothing more than the assessment work done upon them, and in many instances, this has been so indifferently done, and with such an utter abandon and disregard of the statues, that they cannot be held for a moment to comply with the legal requirements.
But, in traversing Ennis, Globe, Gold, Bull, Tenderfoot, Womack, Mineral and a score or more of hills in the district, sources of Cripple, Wilson, Requa, Squaw and other water courses, I came upon scores of properties that were being developed with more or less vigor and intelligence, some with tunnels or inclines, others with shafts or open cuts, and the owners of each full of hope and expectations.
Among those having already good indications of mineral are the Lou P. K. on Womack hill.
