cause n broad grin on the fnccy Of honest
miners rs we'll AZ stool; operators.
M. has evidently been :rnpoSed upon
and - wide of the mark. Panther, or
Painter" ns it is fnisiliarly called
here, has II small vcnl Of rich orc, from
two to three inches i'll width, md, SO far
10 traced, is running 10 sl,c cast. and
welded into the porphyry. There is
bu IL Wine being sunk, and that is
no far from the first Strika to tho north
Of the main tunnel. The few tons of
ore which the efficient Superintendent
has taken out and piled up for n show
ing will work lS mill process shout
ninety dollars per ton. Such is the cs-
timHte of competent judges. The facts
are, Mr.. Editor, tho Panther is n stock
Ledge, AMI is manipulated 5u6-rosa, and
somebody viii get srorched. The bull
is triumphant in the Panther. but the
bear hns his claws deep into the Loop

obvious. Further comments IRE I'M
necessary. SEBITAs.

the receipt Of i complimentary ticket -
the third annual ball of tho en,ulo, cs
OF the V. & T. Railroad, to be given at

Enstern Nernda friends.
