CHARLEY BARROW arrived here last
Saturday from Cornucopia, in charge of
a train Of prairie schooners loaded with
ore from the mines in that district, which
is now being worked at Ginaca's mill.
The ore assays from $3.50 to 5000 per
ton. Barrow speaks in glowing terms OF
the prospects Of Cornucopia. The dis
lance from here to the district is SO great
that miners cannot afford to ship any but
their best and richest ore. A mill is
very much needed in that district
