Notes Concerning a Valuable and
Promising Mfne.

A SENTINEL reporter had an interview
yesterday with G. NJ. Thsckston, Esq, Of
Hamilton, in regard to Patterson District,
which is situated in Lincoln county, east
OF the road to Bristol, and 10 reached by q
turmoil some seven or eight miles south OF
Parker's Station. In the lively days OF
Phoebe, Judge Flowers, an old-time miner
with 9 world OF experience, left that sx-
cited camp on a prospecting tour and
found catering indications in Patterson.
The district was worked, of and on,
after that time, but had been abandoned
for a good many years. when. last Fall,
Judge Flowers took q trip over there. He
tried sumo groupings, and with q single
blast no uncovered a body Of very rich ore.
Some work was done on the extensive
groupings, but the bad weather OF
last Winter aud Spring hindered ex-
tensive Developments. Down to a
depth OF 40 feet the indications
we're that the Matthewson Bros, Judge
Flowers and General Coulter we're going
to have another E%berhsrdt; but there a
porphyry horse" came In and the ledge.
which is between porphyry and lime, threat
ened TO pinch out entirely. On going
through this "hoTse," however, the ledge
was found again at once aud the hopes OF
the owners OF the property are, now,
stronger than ever. The ore which Ia
generally chloride of silver, but showing
ruby silver in places, is very rich and
holds steadily between 5000 and $500,
some Of ii going, however, high up into
the thousands, and other ore, but little OF
III, falling down 10 $3.50. A considerable
quantity of this precious stuff is sacked up
at the mine and negotiations are going to
have il reduced at Bristol or to ship IL on to
Salt Lake for reduction. Some OF II Is
free-milling and some roasting ore. 1t Is
so rich that it would pay handsomely for
shipment even to Swansea. There are nve
or ak men at work taking out and sacking
ore. the value Of which is deter
mined regularly by assay. 1t is being piled
up and definitely labeled, so to speak,
with its coin value. The men employed In
the mine we're engaged to work for 81 .
day and grub furnished. with the further
agreement that il the yield OF the mine
went beyond q certain income fixed upon
by the owners, the pay Of the miners should
be increased in proportion. On these
terms the men have been. and are, MAKING
above expenses, from SIS to S6 per day each.
How extensive the property will turn out
TO be Is pure speculation, but hopes are
entertained that II will become q large
permanent, paying mine.

Remarkable Discrepancies In As.

Hn AN
says Made Two Years Apart.
At the opening OF the District Cour
yesterday morning the Richmond filed iii
amended answer. averring that the or,
taken out OF the disputed ground was no
more than 2.100 tons, and not worth NOR,
than 81 per ton. The Albion presented IL,
amended complaint. as noted in yesterday,
SENTINEL. The cross-examination of Col
L. N. Robinson was continued with refer
ence to the value of the ore extracted. F
@. Robbins was next called to the stand
aud testified to the assays made by him
and l.. W. Davis from samples out Of the
16 sealed and labeled jars. The result was
q very striking difference. In one in.
stance the recent assays showed $50
more, aud in another 500 more
than was shown by the old assays
by the Albion Compsny's assayer.
N. Wescoatt, the next witness, corrobo.
rated the testimony Of Col. Z. N. Robin
son as to the quantity Of ore taken but OF
the disputed ground. His attention was
called TO bis evidence before the State Su-
preme Court, wherein be said that all the
ore taken out Of the ground in dispute
did not amount to more than $5l ,00o
worth. and that it did not yield. net, more
than $40, 900 or $25 900. He replied that
he did not mean TO say that was all the ore,
but that IL he had 30 testified he had made
= mistake. j. @. Harris was next put upon
the stand. He had worked about three
years in the Richmond, was familiar with
the ground in controversy, was a miner Of
experience and q fair judge OF ore. He
said the ore in dispute was Of good quail
ity. He had gone into this ground last
April at the request of Col. E.. N. Robin
son and taken therefrom two small sacks
OF ore which be had Max Moelier
assay. Mr.. Moeller was sent for
to testify In the matter. but be
was found with his den red hot and could
not leave for fear OF having the things he
had under blast freeze up. And this was
about the way the hearing ended for the
day. There were several little incidents
that livened ID the heaviness Of the case.
Among these was the following: Mr..
Wren had on his lap and was reading from
an Albion assay book which had not been
admitted in evidence. The Albion attor.
nies went after him to dispossess him OF 1t
The Judge ruled that whatever use Mr.
Wren was making Of ii was un~objectionable,
as he did not appear to be prompting the
jury from 1t. Mr.. Wines. there we jump
