NJ. +. Freeman and S. S. Sears got
bnck last evening from their visit to
Union District. and rcpor, that but
few men are employed at the mines. The
ores Of the District nre Of a similar ma
ture TO those uf Eureka, but so far as
nsceriaincd. carry less Of the precious
metal. Very little work has yet been
done upon tho mines, however, which
when developed to any considerable
depth. will in all probability. yield "a
higher grade Of ore. Mr.. Freeman
brought away with him samples Of all
the different qualities OF the ores ex.
tracted, the value OF which will be
tested. The appearance OF the District
IL that base ores are abundant, tho
only question being AS to their grade.
Owing to the advantage in wood and
water possessed at Union, n lower grade
OF ore can be made to pay than in less
favored localities, and il an important
consideration in its favor.
