A COOP PROSPECT We yesterday
saw some specimens taken from near
the surface of the Richmond mine,
to the westward from town. They
looked very Encouraging, being high
~ metalilerous, and carrying gold,
silver, copper, bromide and some
other of the precious metals. The
Richmond Company was organized
in March last, at which time the
claim WAS located. Not much work
has been done on the claim since
then, but sufficient has been per-
formed to disclose a good ledge. We
hope explorations will be continued,
for the indications are most promis-

MINE ATTACHED. Tee South Con.
Virginia Mine was day before yes
terday incumbered with several at
tachments aggregating something
like 1000 The attachments are all
for wages and for supplies furnished
by our merchants. There is no doubt
that the mine will pay off all indebt-
eduess in short while, as they have Il
cad of ore there which is quite prom
ising. The condition of the stock
market aud the depreciation OF silver
make mining industries very difficult
Ia be carried forward. In ordinary
times such mine is the South Con.
Virginia would have no trouble To
get all the money necessary to carry
Oh the necessary work in It's develop
ment. We were much surprised at
hearing that il had succumbed to in
debtedness, as we explored Its lower
workings but few months ago, and
found them very encouraging indeed
