Jim Menitee came up from Hermosa
Monday having some samples from the
deep shaft of th. American Flag For
assay. The shaft has a greatly i'm.
proved appearance aud Messrs. Yea
gel and Bently are greatly encouraged
thereby. Jim estimates that the Flag
has 800 tons of excellent ore in sight at
the present time. Six men are at work
on the American Flag aud two on the
Flagstaff adjoining. After another
test of ore the Flag will probably be
