Jno R. James arrived in Phoebe on last
Sundays Hamilton stage. From him
we learn that the mine purchased by him
at Silver Reef, Utah, has been incorpor-
ated in San Francisco. California, under
the name of the "Tocquerville" mine,
the number of shares in said incorpora-
ton be CO. 900, with tine following.named
Trustees: President. E. q. De rano. Sim.
Gsshweiler, P. 8. Van Rensselaer,, Jasper
Mcdonald and Jno r. James; Secretary,
Alfred F. Wolcott; Superintendent. Jno.
r. James. The Office OF the Company
will be No. 419 California street. These
are good set of Trustees and speak we'll
for tho future management OF the mine.
This mine is situated in the Harrisburg
Mining District and is 200 yards from
the Virgin River, adjoining the mine
owned by Gibfried & Brlsacher. The
vein shows the full length of the claim,
1900 feet. A large amount of ore has
been shipped to Phoebe from it for re-
duction, asssying from 5000 to $500 per
ton. The Superintendent proposes to
commence at once sinking shaft and to
extract ore; also to run drift at the foot
OF the mountain at distance of $50 feet,
which will cut the vein at 1856 feet from
the outcrop. This plan Judging by
what the mine has already done) will
undoubtedly give q large amount of ore
sufficient, it is supposed, to run mill
for an unlimited time. We will from
time to time give report Of the progress
and prospects of this mine.
