THE PRIDE OF THE WEST,

tinuous reef of white rocks of the ira
chyte class with covering of quartzose
rock, all of which protrudes through the
sand rocks at an angle of about 40 de-
grees. In this reef are three distinct
veins of ore cropping out at the surface,
aud these veins are regular in course
and dip, are continuous and unbroken

my firm conviction. To reach this big

over 200 feet of depth.

From this reef comes the ores shipped

Others, all rich grade of ore. The ore

A MILL COMING.
In view of these facts Judge Barber.

ordered mill, which will be in opera

Is big money in mill, because the ores
are entirely free from lead, with but lit

amount OF arsenic. They are strictly
chloride ores, and at the mill of Phoebe

AIMING TOWN.
Has been necessity here, and to meet
this few of us secured tract of land
adjoining the town of Leeds, along the
road to the north, and have laid out an
addition to Leeds called "Spicer's Ad-
dition." 1t is on very beautiful tract
OF land, well watered, adjoining the
mines, central TO all of them, and is ex-
tensive enough to meet the wants of all
the camp for all time to come, and give
to miners and outsiders chance to get
lots and places to do business in the
country. Sp1cEn.
