papers for the sale Of this claim, situated
in the Truckee District, have been for

in connection with this, we learn that
Eastern capitalists are ready and willing
to invest in our mines whenever they are
satisfied in regard to the worth Of any
particular claim, and that responsible
parties have control of them. From our
knowledge Of this affair, WI feel confident
that the contamination Of the sale will be
effected. We hope so, as the parties in
teres,ed are men Of integrity.
