centage of silver each foot in depth.
Ten men are steadily employed at the
mine. The Quigg Mining Company
property, if it had been located by
prospectors without means, would be
idle to-day; but Mr.. Quigg, having
ample capital to carry on the neces-
sary explorations, has succeeded in
making valuable mines of the two To-

ing before cutting the pay ore.

having new siding built on the main
building. Mr.. Reilly and several
other property owners on River street

gradually that thoroughfare is becom-
ing one of the best built streets in
