feet depth, which was remarkably
rich considering the proximity to the
surface. The specimen contained
several pieces OF native silver az
bright as a trade dollar, besides be.
ing rich in sulphurets. an average
assay taken from the ledge showed
silver, $l35.0S; gold, S2.5i; total;
$l37.59. Some Of the pieces would
have gone up into the thousands,
The shaft, which is 100 feet from the
incline, Is now fifteen feet deep. and
will strike the ledge at about 100
feet, when, If the same rapid i'm
Provement is continued, something
never before seen in this country
may be expected. The vein at the
head OF the incline was about foot

THE WILLIAM PENN NINE.
We are glad to see among the new
enterprises in our midst the starting
up Of the old VIM. Penn tiine. This
is one of the oldest locations in this
district, and the wonder is that it has
lain idle SO long. This mine was
actively worked years ago, and ole
from it milled $2S per ton, which at
that time left no margin for profits
now first class ore. In the old works
a we'll defined lode, some five feet
wide, showed itself, which was sunk
on seventy-five feet. The old conf
pany then started in to run along
tunnel, which it was considered
would strike the. lode about 500 feet
below the surface; but before the
work was more than half completed
funds gave out, and It has been
closed ever since. The leading men
in the new company are old Com
stockers, Who know how to work q
mine. They start in with ample
capital, and are going to drive the
old tunnel day and night until It
reaches the lode. W. ]. Hutchings,
who so successfully superintended
and opened the Reliance mine, at
Gold Hill, has been appointed Su-
perintendent, and is now on the
ground, making things look lively
thereabouts.
