ible throughout the entire depth Of the
shaft. The ore averages high, assays
ranging from S26 to $500 per ton. Fully
1875 tons are already on the dump, and q |
careful estimate OF the ore in sight in the |
mine places the value at $40, 900. The
owners of this property deserve encourage |
ment, as they persistentIy toiled and
labored in pushing a tunnel q distance Of |
800 feet without success, finally going to q
place above, where, at a depth Of 800 feet,
the ledge was encountered. II present |
indications continue. il il the intention Of |
the owners to erect a mill on the Hum
boldt River at Gerald, about a mile dist
ant, where it is estimated ores averaging
S12 per ton can be worked At q profit.

Is all that could be desired. Wood and
water are abundant, Stafford Canyon being
a net. work OF springs and watercourses.
The Humboldt River ia distant but a mile
and q half from the mines, where ample
water power can be procured for mill pur-
poses. A little settlement has been estab.
lished at Gerald Station, where the G. p.
