 Mr. Aikman informed a CITIZEN r.te- that. having heard parties .- ..at ore Was only being taken out -u the works already done, he took .e.-.gl l1 inquire 0i the foreman of -l.ule as t5 the present state and workings. with the following result.

 h sLau being run DO the top 0i .le hill. near the office buildings, and roTn as shaft No. D, at ninety feet the ore was increasing in value, and contains large quantities Of horn sll- Yer. lu alI-the works ore is beng .ouC, and the indications are that -le whole hill is mass of mineral The foreman laughed at the idea of the mine being EOugcd, and said therl was enough ore in sight to run two years at least.
 The mill and mine arc both under experienced foremcn, well posted iI lU the branches of their business and who do their work in the mos thorough manner. There are 2b0u ninety tons of ore run through in ; day. which is worked 10 within ninety K per cent of the assays, giving bull lon that averages 96 and 5I fine.
