FROM THE UPPER COUNTRY.

A Paying Boulder Claim-The Net Re.
suits Of the Internationally Com.
promise.
T. F. Shaw was down from the up
per country, to-day, to look after the
sampling and shipment Of some ore
in which he is interested. The ore
came from the Ophir claim, on Boul-
der creek, which is opening up very
favorably. Two tunnels have been
driven to the ledge, in about 80 feet,
20 feet apart, and show ore on top. in
the breast, and bottom. The vein
shows from tour inches to two feet Of
clean ore which nets $3.50 ton. About
three tons per day are shipped on an
average, a pack train being constantly
employed in packing from the mine to
Boulder station-a distance of seven
miles.
For the first time the true result of
the Elkhorn MONDAY compromise,
over a year ago, was learned to-day
from Mr.. Shaw. Out of the ground
ceded the MONDAY by l. l. Lewis
the MONDAY boys realized 100000 net
On the other hand, l. l. Lewis never
ra.l;,od one cant from the CrounC
coded him as a compromise by tn.
MONDAY company. Nay, more, he
has expended nearly $4,000 looking
for ore, and never found one cent
worth.
