a watchman on the Eberhardt, and gets

night. It is an immense mass Of silver
ore, as massive as the copper ore in the

the proprietors desire they could iinme-
diately take out az much silver ore as the
former has copper ore, that will assay

richer every day. The Central Pacific

clear and cool.' Accompanying the let
