agement, and has resulted in the develop
ment of rich ore and the mine now has every
prospect of being successful, large quantity
of ore having been taken ont in which gold is
generally visible to the naked eye and is now
ready for the mill.
The Knox & Boyle mine which was work
ed sometime since and for time yielded
well from bad management was ran into
debt and finally sold at forced sale from the
original owners. The purchasers not caring
for immediate profit, have not attempted to
get oot rock for crushing, but worked only
the mine. Tunnels and shafts have been run
until it has developed mine of great value
and richncss.
The App mine at Poverty Hill which was
East, after being worked for some tine did
not produce satisfactory results, the further
effort of trying to make it pay was then
abandoned until after proper development
of the mine could be made. For some months
sinking of shafts and driving of drifts has
been going on which results in showing large
bodies of fine ores. Neither of the above
named mines have yielded gold for long pc
riod and the Grizzly Mine not for years.
Ore from the Heslep Mine near Poverty
Hill has been continuously worked at small
profit for a period of years. Within few
weeks body of extreme rich ore has been
reached in this mine, which when opened and
worked will produce very large. A few days
ago some parties discovered q rich vein near
Yankee Hill from which they have already
taken large amount of the precious metal.

ore enough in sight and some of it very rich

Never until the present management by

This was reversal of the general rule pur-

is to be seen in the county several splendid
mills without vein to feed them, monuments
of extravaganza and bad Judgment.
Countless numbers of rich and valuable
mines now lie dorment in our county which
can be made to yield princely fortunes, they
cannot be made available without first being
opened and developed. We have many veins
