Mike Foley arrived from Clenden-
in yesterday. He tells US that the
snelter is probably closed down for a
short period, as the coal supply gave
out. The run has been by far the
most successful ever made, and they
have now on hand over 5000 bars Of
bullion. They will start again just
as soon as q sufficient supply of coal
Is en hand.
The mine 1.-THE Silver Belle) is look
ing better than 1t ever has. They
recently struck a very large body of
ore, much of 1t grey c%arbonates,
which is very ricn.
Nj. D. Rice, the coal man, has just
completed another kiln, and with one
or two more will be able to keep
ahead of the blast furnace on coal, 80
that no more stoppages on that score
would be necessary.

In the rich groupings and valuable
ores 80 heavily laden with pure sui
phurets, which yielded hundreds OF
dollars to the ton at the smelter.
Everything was done in a crude way
until Maj. Budd succeeded in 'knock-
ing chaos endways with a club" Ito
use his own words) and began work
In a systematic style. Work now
progressed favorabfy until water in
both shafts and tunnel compelled the
men to cease work. First one and
then another sold their interests at
what to them were considered fair
figures. Major Budd retained his,
and now with his present partners.
VIM. Owsley, w. A. Clark and -
Brown, proposes reopenlng the mine
and demonstrating to the world that
hidden treasures are still there and
that the mine will yield politically.

lode, now owned by Col. Herman
Horst, will undoubtedly prove an
other good mine. It lays in almost a
direct line with the Major Budd and
Fourth of July. The three shafts
only showed up rich ore in narrow
veins averaging six or eight inches
In width. The tunnel, however,
driven in to a depth of 12O feet, has
discovered to the workmen a larger
vein of ore which assays from IL to
1000 ounces, the general average be-
ing about 30 ounces. Col. Horst will
soon have q force of men at work
prosecuting and sinking.

The property was recently bonded

acceptance expired. the brothers con-

gratifying results, that 800, 900

Only a few particular friends have
been given anything like a true
account of the r in sight. The

failed to unequivooally express its senti-
ments, and waited until a poll of dele
