extensive works in the district. The
Shonte mine, owned by Earnst, has
been sold within the past few days for a
large sum TO well known Hamilton par

sunk thereupon TO the depth of % feet,
disclosing a continuous body of ore con-
tanning nearly 80 per cent. lead and
assaying in silver from $500 to 49, 900
