EXTRAORDINARY DEVELOPMENTS

confess that all our other lodcs in the older mining districts, on which our faith has rest ed for seven years past, now scsm quite insig- niicant
 Never have we hnown a district from which such unanimously favorable reports haze been made as from this. From the largest owner in the huge Tiger to the poor est pilgrim who has visited the mines, we havc-s,range to say-yet ,o meet man who is unconvnced of the richness of that section of country.
 All agree that the mines, so far as can be seen, are richer in proportion to the amount of ore exposed than any they have before eX- ! amincd.

Ellt took three panfuls snc , washed out sl.75 in free gold, and estimated Q that the gold visible in the small quartz lief !. in the pan was worth Si to s5. Yet tn T, Grey Eagle is called silver lode. !. The Lorenna shows now a five feet crevice
 with ore as rich as that on the surface.
 Specimens shown us from the Eclipse an l Cougar shafts are in keeping with all the re d ports previously had from those rich lodes. h.
