visited their mine the other day, anC
brought from the ledge some rock
from which extraordinary assays have
resulted. They intend letting a con
tract for a shaft 100 feet deep, by which
they expect to strike a permanent
ledge. Should it prove as rich AS the
assay made. the sapphire will become
very valuable property. The Quinn
mine, a little to the south of the Sap
phire, owned by Thomas Quinn. is
proved to be very valuable. Some
rock assayed in the Mint vent as high
as $500 to the ton. Quinn Is a hard
working man, has held on to the mine
for years, and is now richly rewarded
for his perseverance. General VIII
liams owns a mill nea the Quinn
mine, which was erected some two
Years since: it will start up again
soon on rock from both mines. A

worthy townSman. Winston, has a
good thing in the sapphire, and we
sincerely trust he may soon become a
millionaire.

the Doctor and his amiable lady.
