Is situated In Lake county. Colorado,
up in the mountains, at q height Of
eleven or more thousand feet. The
mines ars base. and carry silver in much
the same proportion as those Of Eureka
District. aud. in fact, the ore bears q
striking resemblance to that taken from
those mines. Several sales. "way up"
have been made. Aone.half interest in
the Little Pittsburg sold for $500. 900 in
cash; o similar portion Of the New Dis.
covery brought $l25. 900, aud Joe Chat.

Little Pittsburg. Melted its l~ocators
$500, 900; the Adelaide. in early times
sold for $50. 900, and the Gallagher for
S225, 900, and both are now held at
$500, 900. Messrs. Stevens * Leightner

Of the district, and now II Is claimed

degrees. and is limestone; the cap.

porphyry. and sometimes a conslomsr-
alton Of both. Very little blasting Is
done. especially in those claims near the
base Of the range, but further up toward
the top q little. powder comes mighty
handy. The average OF the carbonate
ores IL about Is per cent. In lead, and q
trace OF gold. Some. however. near the
summit-Adelaide comes to my mind

gold. The veins carry o:e from two to
twenty feet In width. No hosting
