to those who watch the past and present events Of
poultry history find that there is still . class Of

q plot to break the County Jail. As tho
Jailer put the key in the lock Of the out.
side door, to admit a visitor. about $3.50
O'Clock, he found the keyholes stopped
up with wads OF wet paper. 1t required
nearly twenty minutes TO get the paper

After getting inside the jail an investiga.

locked all Of the prisoners in their cells,
and took extra precautions that the place
MAS well watched. as 1t was evident that
q break had been contemplated during

the SOUTH END.
Fine showing from the Lady wash
layton 60 she Quinn.

There Is every encouragement now to
the mines at the south end OF the lode.
Lady Washington, Benton. Alta, Jus.
tice, Silver Hill and Quinn are all on o
line about and are getting the best OF
indications. Lady Washington has good
rock, but, like Benton and Alta. cannot
crosscut into the ledge till the com.
pressor Is in, for fear OF flooding. not
only the 1850 level, but all the Alta and
Benton below that level.
In Alta and Benton no better pros
poets could DO asked and they will also
be followed up ii soon as the air com.
pressor gets here from the East and IL In

In Justice there are three bodies OF
good.looking quartz carrying lunches OF
ore. and even the porphyry IL almost
rich enough to mill.
Silver Hill has reached out with its
east crosscut. 1900 level, till 1t has On.
countered some ni~cs-looking rock and
has prospects Of something better further
ahead.
In the Quinn mine there Is a change
in the formation from the old rock en-.
countered. and now 1t resembles in
places the orc In Alta. This Is o
good indication all around, for should
the Quinn and Alta prove to be
in the same general formation 1t must
be a strong one indeed. Some Of this
Quinn rock is rich in gold, like the Alta
and Justice rock. A sample sssa!ysd for
Superintendent Boyle Of the Altd showed
S79i IS gold and $40 CO silver. making
q total Of 1924 80. A piece OF Quinn
porphyry was sssayed by Wisgand q
Co. aud found TO contain 81 GO gold and
$40 80 silver, or q total OF S2l on. The
rock did not contain Q particle OF quartz
but was a portion Of q bowlder OF con-
siderable size that was encountered IN
the midst Of the ore body. This is very
similar to an assay made OF Justice por.
phyry which gave $40 10.
