Mud SPRINGS AND DTAMoNDs.-Prof
Hurley, who is now, and for some time
past has been at the Silver Springs
mines, has made over seventy assays of
the mud, and in almost all ofthsm he
found silver in paying quantities, and
some reached as high as 5000 per ton.
He will remain there next summer, and
expresses full confidence in their rich
ness. The springs are frozen too hard to
prospect with any degree OF satisfaction,
yet sufficient has been done to demon
strate the fact that they contain untold
wealth. 1t is reported that lady named
Mrs. Davis, residing in the vicinity,
found q valuable sapphire, worth about
$1,000, recently, near one of the mud
holes. Mr.. Henrichsen says he knows OF
others being found there, and thinks
valuable diamonds in paying quantities
will be discovered in that section.
