Of roaming amid the granite groves and sage

routine is to locate something or anything,
exhibit specimens. and then patiently await
the coming of the stranger capitalist, that he
may be taken IN" We have had this e1pe-
rienee, and fortunately for our honesty the
stranger did not appear; consequently he was
not taken in, and we are all negatively virtu-
Gus. We can now look back on our past eI-
pectations; sigh that We did not make the
expected sales. and as offset rejoice that
we are still-konest miners; and although most
Of the natives have given up the idea Of vast

Most of the mines have been idle the past
Winter until within the last month or SO; but
they are now being worked theoretically, the
weather not being bad enough to offer any
serious interruption. As work progresses in
the mines, most of them improve steadily and
many are turning out better than the most
sanguine anticipated. .... .... .

mnesis the FL Dorado. owned by Wilson HAYS
and j. ID. Never, which was located about lS
months since by other parties. who did not
consider 1t hardly worth working. The pres
eGt owners, however, took hold Of it, and af-
ter sinking 80 feet, have struck a splendid
body of ore, the ledge being over three feet
wide. The last crushing, by wet process, re-
turned $50 per ton. ...a
The U. s. Gran, ledge owned Nv X. Hutch

tremeiy rich. An incline shaft has been sunk
90 feet- and another started 80 feet north, for

owners Of this mine had the means to open il

ali2e handsomely from it.
