KERN DISTRICT From Capt. Mallett
and others that arrived from the above
district, we learn that the mines are
looking we'll, and work is vigorously
prosecuted on q number of the mines
producing high grade ores. We have
been shown four different assays from
the st. Charles ledge, made at Egan Cam
Won, showing as low as $502.68 and a s
high as So, oil .03. The rock contains
such metal as would require roasting be-
fore it could be milled. There are about
30 miners in Kern District. They say
that with a good road they would prefer
shipping their ores to Hamilton instead
of the railroad. This road should be
repaired.
