The White Pine News says: The Bel
cher Consolidated mine, on Miser's
Dream Hill, is sold. This mine is a
most valuable piece of property in a
smelling camp, and more particularly 30
for its lead qualities. The ledge is
known to be about 100 feet in width,
and the ore carries $25 in silver per ton
and fifty per cent. of lead. 1t is sup
posed that not less than 20, 900 tons of
ore have already been extracted from
this mine by its former owners. The
ground is soft, and the ore can be taken
out very expeditously and economically.
This property has been lying idle all
winter, but the new proprietors have put
six man in the mine, and after a little,
when the ore will be needed. will in
crease the working force. We under.
stand that all the ore extracted from the
mine will be reduced at the Madison fur
mace.
