They have shipped since last June
As tons of ore which has milled on

mine, situated about mile southeast
from the Rumford mine, owned by
Rhodes e. WATSON. The former mine
is owned by Adam ilasser, Jos. Cru
Der and Capt. John Pagan and they
have sunk an incline shalt 45 feet
pitching to the west and the deeper
they go down the richer the ore seems
to be. The average width of the
ledge is eighteen inches, the lowest
assay made is SIG and the highest
$776 to the ton. They now have
some fifteen tons on the dump, and
in the course of two weeks will have
three times that amount. They also

worthy.

Judge Stewart, formerly of Carson,

On my return l remained a few
