We are indebted to Mr.. C. r. Clark for
some fine specimens from the Joe and John,

The Mineral King and iGalena Queen, in
Prospect Basin, are shipping to Silverton,

the bottom of AZ foot shaft. Large pieces
of galena have been found scattered all
through the workings.
Il. ii. Rose has sold one-fourth interest
| in the Snowfoot, adjoining the National Belle
and the present owners are working two
shifts on tunnel, which has cut n three-foot
vein of soft gangue and decomposed mineral,
which they purpose developing at once.
| A force of men are at work on the Carbon

house and sacking ore for shipment. They
have eight feet of solid pay mineral, which
will run upwards of 200 ounces in silver
Ten different assays gave S1l3 to $500 per
ton.
The Bellevue and Waterfall lodes the pro-
perty of Louis Heep, Frank Schirmer and
Julius Albert are located near the Yankee

ment The Waterfall has only ten-foot
face, but shows well defined crevice nearly
three feet in width, with decomposed copper,
galena and quartz. The lucky owners will
develop at once.
The National Belle drift is now in about
100 feet and on Thursday they struck an i'm
mense body of gray copper apparently very
rich. They shipping five tons per day

up to the head of the gulch.
A force of men will soon be put upon the
gent Patterson and Neville. Their property
is on the east side of Humboldt creek, near
the Carbonate King.
While Mr.A. l.. Noel, of the Saratoga lode
