Col. W. Il. dc Frees, of the dc Frees
mine ut Tuscarora, started for San
Francisco yesterday morning for the
purpose of Fastening tho completion Of
the machinery for the mill to DO erected
upon the colnpany's property for the
reduction III their ores, aud 10 arrange
for its shipment us SOON AZ practicable.
The Col. has been working lul of
rock from the "le Frees ut the little
Young America mill, OH the east
side Of the valley, in ORDER to mako II
thorough practical test Oi the ore, and
lie assures lis TINT tie result wis most
satisfactory. From fourteen tons rctluc-
cd. the lowest 'grndc yielded over u
hundred dollars tn the ton, while the
better qualitica- averaged in excess of
two hundred dollars to the ton. Nine
hundred ounces of bullion was obtained
from the fourteen tons Of ore, the same
being at the rate Of 81 per ounce; the
bullion containing large percentage of
gold. The vein from which the orc is
taken is gradually increasing in size
"ml improving in; appearance, il hav-
ing now, i'll the lower workings attained
width Of FROM four to five feet. A large
quantity. of excellent ore is upon the
dumps awaiting the stamps for coIivcr-
sion into gold md silver bullion. The
mine is II valuable one, mud that Of the
Young America CoInpany's close by,
gives very strong evidence Of being one
Of the best i'll the county, which is no
slight tribute TO it's worth. Large piles
OF rich orc have also accumulated at
this mine, and il We have not widely
miscalrulHtcd, the comming summer
will be, for that camp, one of unprece-
denied success in the production Of
gold and silver bullion. d.
