GRATIFYING ASSNY.-WaShington Dis
trici, some Etecu or twenty miles on
the other side of Pine Grove, contains
many fine lodges which assay well in
both silver and gold, principally the
former. We were shown, last Sa,ur-
day morning, an assay of ore from the
Warsaw ledge in hat district which
showed a yield of S5TI - to the ton,
only ST 80 being gold. y quantity OF
the ore can DC seen At Collins hat store,
Virginia. The Company propose n Sys-

their claim during the coming season.
Judging from this and other assays 1t
