Jumps worth 500, which were obtain

cover the mountains for two miles
square. More or less gold is found
on the entire surface. High up on
the mountain a great deal of mining
was done century ago, and con-
tinued down to the point where the
vein turned to sulphurets of silver,
which they could not work. The
present owners are gentlemen of this
place, and are developing it fast.
A tunnel has been run below the old
works, and an immence deposit of
decomposed quartz and other sub
