will considerably exceed that of several
years past.
Parties who have been giving some atten-
ton to Boulder Hill, Alpine county, are
confident that they have made discoveries
that show relation between the rich rock
there found, and the lodges of Monitor
Mountain.

Says the Inyo independents Beveridge
is fast coming to the front as a rich gold
producing district. y number of fine gold
quartz lodges in this camp are as yet IN

go to work on them.

Mullen claim, on New York Hill, Grass
Valley, lately finished a run of thirty loads
of quartz which gave yield of S3,G5l 81,

the lessees over 81 per day for their labor,
after laying the owners of the ground 80
per cent. OF the gross proceeds.
