seems to be Identical with that found
in the Forest Queen, showing already
ruby and brittle silver and gray copper.
But one wall has as yet been found
but the above metals are found the
entire width of the shift i, which four
feet wide. The owners have just CON-
pleted shaft house of sufficient ca
pacity to protect the mlne, forge .and
quarters and bunks of the workmcn.
The work of further development will
be pushed rapidly after the holidays.
From present indications the ore re-
moved in developing Will be Of suffici-
ent quantity and quality to pay all ex-
penses and also profit to the owners.
These gentlemen have numerous 9TH
er mines OF good promise in variou,
parts of the district, all of which will
be worked more or less during the
coming season, among which may be
mentioned the St Marys, belonging to
Miller, Carson and company. This
mine Is very rich in ruby, having a
pay streak of six inches in width from
the surface and widening rapidly with
development.
