Bellevue Chronicle.

This mine is situated about eight
miles due west of Bellevue, and is the
oldest lucatisu in the Wood River
country, az it was discovered in the
fall Of 1864, bnt as the Indians were
at that time very troublesome, it was
not located until the next spring.
There has been a great deal of work
done on this mine aud as soon as n
stamp mill is placed in easy access to
it, so there will not bc SO much loss in
shipping, great deal of ore can he
taken out III u very short time. A
tunnel has been run in IL distance of
400 feet, which taps the ledge at a
depth of l75 feet aud shows IL good,
