here from Lis home In S.n + aneisoo

his ninrs about Mountain ii and

North to take a ayiu. trip 10 Mineral
Hill. Mr.. McDoaall returned from
tha, camp by the tr in last ~ mius and
from him We obtaiuel some items Of in
tersst respecting the mines and mill Of
that locality. Amos Palmmer. one Of
the very bes- Of practical miners and .
uau .; excellent judgment, has charge
of the mines. aid Joseph Pringls Of
Austin, n thoroughly competent mill
man, has control at the mill. The ores
now being reduced are chiefly Of low
grade. and are reduced without roast
ing, aud under the present judicious
treatment are yielding a higher per.
cen;ags OF the precious metals that Ut
any prior working.
Pursuant to q theory he had long
maintained, Mr.. Plummer, on taking
charge of the mines. began prospecting
in ground to the eastward Of all former
workings, at a point between the Giant
and Spencer locations. aud the result is
proving the ,ctncss Of his judy
ment. Some of IN fine ore as any pre-
yiously found on the hill has already
been struck IL siuking the shaft. aud
all the indications are that a large body
Of it is now being developed. II this
ground now being prospected shall
maintain the promise it is giving at
present, there is reason to believe that
an amount Of treasure will be found ON
