Three years ago near the ella river, IN
Arizona, was discovered the Silver King
(which led to further explorations and
the finding of three others, the GUIANA
juato, the Picket-wire, and the Silver
Plume.
Silver King assays, made from the pick
ed specimens of ore taken from the mine,
eight feet below the surface, gave the as
tonishing returns Of s22, 900 per ton t's 900
Is the value per ton Of pure siiver), and
there are but two other mines IN the
whole world, so far as known, that have
yielded so richly, to-wit the Huasca mine
of Peru, mot worked at presently and the
Fargo mine of the Batopilas group, State
OF chihuahua, Me ico. This Batopias
group of bonanza mines Is situated some
$50 miles south of the Silver King depos-
