 ledge is very much like that of Silver District ex- cept a greater quantity oi quartz being encountered in POorman'. and here the similarity ceases, fol in place of four plain dehned ore channels found in Silver District but two principal ore channels tra' verse the Poorman's District with several lesser channels running parallel however. The ledges crop out where a spur of low foot hills extend into the mesa, that divides the river range of noun tains on the East, from the mes. quite range on the west and about four miles of rolling broken foot hills intervene between the lGdes and the high ridge of the me-quite mountains. The crop. , pings are second only in their massive character to those of Silver District, showing a clean co ltart l'erween walls of ledge stuff 45 feet in width.
