From Is feet below the 1900 level II has

this is all good paying ore. assaying up In
the hundreds. Average Assays made at
Virginia last evening went from $iss 10
s2ai to the ton. Five assays msdein Gold

Julia is much troubled and impeded In
her anticipated bonanza development on
the 200 level by suiiocating clouds Of
steam and plenty Of scalding water.
These little difficulties are being success-
fully combatted and overcome. and in .

everybody else interested will 30 able TO
