LARGE YIELD.-Mr. Bishop has had
another test made of the rock which Mr..
Booth brought in from the ledge they To-
Gated a short time since in Montgomery
District. The test shows the rock which
was from the top Of the ledge and above
the surface of the ground, 10 DC full as
rich as it appears. That tested, yielded
at the rate of $40 per ton. In the dis
trict where the ledge is lacoted, there is an
abundance Of wood and plenty Of water,
either to drive water mills or furnish n
sufficient supply TO drive any number OF
steam mills required. The ledge on top
is eight feet wide and we'll defined.
Messrs. Bishop and Booth think they have
got the biggest thing in the country, kear-
sarge or Excelsior not excepted. The
latter gentleman leaves for the diggiEgs to
commence work on the claim to-day or
tomorrow.

should not be raised to certain sums, spc-

the mines in Excelsior District continues
