goes nobly on. There are about twenty
tons of tirst.class ore on the dump. We

opinion that the ore will yield better by
smelling. There is enough ore in sight
in the mine to keep the men busy stop
ing for the next twelve months. This Is
decidedly the best mine in the district
above the water level, and if it were not
involved in litigation it would Sell for
handsome figure.
