sunk the depth of 60 feet, showing the
~ tons Of first-class ore sacked that will
60 up in the hundreds. They also have a
large amount of second-class ore on their
several dumps ready for milling. This
mine is well situated for working advanta-
geously. The ledge can be cut to q depth
OF 500 feet by q tunnel not to exceed $50
feet in length. The owners Of this property
also have q water right that affords suf-
ficient water for 20 to 40 stamps.
The Mazeppa mine, owned by Boon Til
ford. il a strong ledge Of free gold quartz,
running north and south, is situated about
600 yards northeast from the Verdi mine.
This ledge prospects we'll, and will make q
valuable property with proper develop
ment.
The Virginia Rose mine, owned by J. W.
Mooney. is a promising location, situated
about 500 yards, east of the Verdi mine.
Where work has been done it shows q we'll
defined ledge running east and west, and
prospects well with the hand mortar in free
gold.
The Durango mine, owned by G.. E.
Spencer and others, is situated about $50
yards west Of the Verdi mine; is a we'll
defined ledge running east and west. The
ore is free gold quartz, assaying "a high as
$40 per ton. A shaft 80 feet deep On the

parties as the Durango, is situated about
700 yards southeast from the Verdi mine,
and is g well-defined ledge. assaying from
q trace tos$100 per ton. They find some
very rich quartz specimens in this mine.

S. to $40 per ton.
W. B. Morse is the local manager of the
three last named mines. He has been hav-
ing the assessment work done on these
mines, and is we'll pleased with the showing
Of the properties.
/ see by the papers that it required two
Deputy U. s. Marshals to take ex-senator
Spencer to Washington. Think it is about
time for this Star Route Bull Ring Mas
querade to cease. It is q good thing,
though. to make a mash on the dear peo-
pie, and show them how honest and
virtuous our rulers are at Washington. 1t
ia a sure thing that ex-senator Spencer
will return to Osceola shortly and erect
his 60-stamp mill for the Crescent and
Eagle mines, in which there are thousands
OF tons OF $12 quartz in sight.
