him-hadn't seen him for several
years-and when we last saw him he
looked as if he was about ready to
climb the golden stairs--had been
sick for number of years, and was
physically thin. Now he is hale and
hearty. He was sick for nine years,
and regained his health only about
eighteen months ago. Mr.. Farrls went
up to Walkers diggings, near Ban
ner the other day, to locate a ledge
ne discovered years ago. He stopped
at the Golconda mine on his way in.
The boys struck the ledge the other
day IN their new shaft and at the
depth of twenty-five feet. The ledge
surpasses their expectations, both in
the size of the vein and richness Of
the ore. They ran four feet into the
ledge and haven't yet reached the
other side. -Four feet, is pretty good.
The vein is almost perpendicular. On
the surface it had but a very slight dip.
They are now satisfied they have a
genuine ledge : true assure.
