The waters of these springs are

meadow back of the house, q bed of
fire clay was found, from two to two
and q half feet thick, and covering.
lar as known, from two to three
acres of ground. This clay has been
thoroughly tested by Dr.. De Granier
and Mr.. Hieberlin, of the Alta Mon
tana works, and pronounced to be
the best yet found in the Territory. !

roasters and smelters, and for q

Mr.. Miles Cavanaugh, with . force
men, is about to resurrect the long
neglected Rumley mine. AS MI. G.
this mine contains one of the
argest ore bodies to be fouad in the
territory, and will probably be
worked on a grand scale.
Men are again being rapidly put to
work in the works at Wickes, also at
ne Cornet and Alta mines. The in
locations are that there will be more
men employed in the works and
mines around Boulder within three
months than ever before. E..
