ftcbg tkOtAFtAC A una tiAiul \ Mlllcl f L have mentioned as being on thl saddle to the Westi of the Blacl
 Peak, about 1,000 feet on th
 next saddle, is acus tl1aE has beer run in some fifty feet upon 3 prom
 sing ledge called the Delta. l shows good ore, but IS considerabr broken up, and the work has no been sufficient 10 prove it's value To the southwest, on the broker ground at the bottom of the valley there are quite a number of iron. capped and we'll defined iedges, which cross each other their course: being from 10 to 50 degrees east oI north. There are several claims on the ground, but no work of any ac- count.
 On the west side of the valley just above the Miami mill road, there show very prominently q big iron- capped ledge, With two prospect holes down on the hanging wall some twelve feet, but the vein has not been broken into. 1 FgH Going up tle road we met wagon loaded with ore, going from the Miami mine Eo the milI, 4 1itae |further Rp we came upon the mine itself, and a look at the exehsIve inmp at once shows that a consider able amount of work has been done. This mine is one of the earlv dis- eoverjes, made by Mr W Hope, wbo got considerable qdantl6y of rich carbonate ore from the surface workings, and had it smelled by Mr. Jennings, realizing over S700 PCT ton. There has also been re- dpced at the Miami mil about 250 tons of ore, the return ia bullion running from $50 to $500 per ton. The main shat has been sunk 1O3 feet. It yielded ore about 50 feet from the surface, and then tue ledge. m common with most ledges in the a@tIiet, got broken up and poor in mineral. When work vas stopped on the bottom the indicatlons for ore was extremely favorable; but the boy, instead of gong down it might be oaly few feet further until they got the sohd ledge, pended aiI work and only resumed 1t recently upon the discovery or rich ore on the surface. @
 From the appearance of tbis ledge, both on the Miami claim and for two miles to the sodthwess, from the solid synte formation in which it is and from the amount of ore which 1t contains near tue surface, there is no doubt but with proper develop ment tbis would be one of the most productive mines in the district, and yield an ample amount of good ore to keep its mill constantly employed.
 West from the Miami shaft, on a parallel ledge about roo feet distant, IS the Rescue mine, owned by J. ". Wilson, of San Francisco, who bought that anu the Ramboz from the original dlsc6gsrers. The shaft IS sunk 50 feet, and shows a well de- 6uel ledge about four feet wide. Tie ore .aken from 1t would average over S250 per ton-there is yet a few tons of good ore on The dump; and It Is apply to see sach q valuable mine iylng dormant when 1t might f properly hanlied De adding very ma serially to ths ou pot of the district.
 The next ledge up the hif t0 the west is the Ramboz nmhed after the disc0veter F0e nine has shaft over 100 feet deep, which has yielded good ore. There are also four open cuts at various places, From 10 to 50 feet m the iode, In ali the vein Is well dehned from to 2 feet vide with smooth walls, which have pitch, and the ore of whch -there has been a considerable quansity exEracted-Wousd aYsfa ee aver Sz50 per ton. lt D S.
