MINERAL HILL NOTES.
A Strike In the Wedge.

Just as we were going to press 2 note reached us from Hineral Hill, saying that a rich strike of horn silver was made yes terday in the Wedge mine This is one of the Cholla group, owned by Messrs. Miller and Sibbald The ledge is about fifteen feet wide and carries horn silver nearly all the way across. Count one more for Mineral Hill.
 The purpose of Win. P. Miller's visit to this district last week was to make thorough, personal examination of the Alice mine and make careful assay test of the different characters of ore found in the mine He made large number of assays, and the lowest return obtained was $25 to the ton, while the highest ranged into the thousands. MT. c. l.. Wilson, jr, of San Francisco, was present and assisted in making the assays, and was 30 well satisfied with the fairness and eorrectness of the test that he subscribed for ten thousand shares of the Alice stock, to be taken as soon as the mine can be incorporated and the stock issued. In course of conversation with Mir Wilson on this subject, he assured us that during . protrActed stay in the famous Wood River district, Idaho, he did not see in all the claims combined as much ore in sight as is visible in the croppings and workings of the Alice, and he is not an enthusiast, but man of cool, clear judg- ment The ten tons of ore shipped to Melroso was fair avera e of the dump, as it was taken from cut made straight through tho center of the ore pile and was not assorted. The return from this shipment may be justly and safely con sidered fair average of the mine. The result of the reduction has not been re- ported yet, but we are satisfied that it will surprise the doubting Thomases of San Francisco, who have credited the misrepresentation of enemies of the Min eral Hill district. The bond would have expired on the 1st of January, but while here 1Ir. Miller obtained sixty days ex- tension, for the purpose of enabling him e perfect arrangements for lifting the bond and incorporating the property. kbo1t 20, poo shares of the stock has been sahssribsd for here, by men who have seen and examined the property, and more will be taken as soon as the stock is placed in the market. It is expected that contract will be let soon for sinking a five hundred foot, two-compartment, yer tical working shaft.
