An unusually large number OF mines in

experience In our mines has visited the
Dead Broke mine and reports II as being
in q very catering condition. He says

ore in the Dead Broke mine will assay up
| wards OF $500 to the ton.
The Silver Conner mine has been
pretty we'll showed in during the heavy
| Winter storms, but the snowfall having
abated, the dump has been cleaned on

sumed at once. II the present thaw con
