Robt. MoCsliey Of this city received last
week some very fine mineral specimens from
the Petast'n country. Iear Eilsnsburg, sent
by Walter A. Bull. the President OF the
Seattle L waIia " ails wagon rad company.
The mines are owned by the above COM
pany and on the more promising OF them
considerable work has been dons. ihe
s2.cimeus are numbeIel and have been as
sayeG; they are now on exhibition At the
SrArEsxAy oiHee. Numbers | and are

with IrOu p,Iilss in Its natural cubes and
mi.e or less ox,dised, carrying also sli
0n.tss of copper. some CT which are decom

IN c. urtry rocS of black slate and birds

over the lace Of the ledge and exposed 1t to
a depth Of 20 ieet. Assays o. these samples
run from SIC TO Sla5 gold and IS ozs. OF sil-

NJ. 5 is specimen Of solid mineral from
the c, p2er lode. 4 m,i, $ from the discovery;
at tins point the vein is five feet vide with
every indication that the lode is wider than
tn. groupings. No assay of tins ore has
been made, bot IT should yield largely IL
silver. with a heavy per ctntase OF copper
and iron. 1t would be a rebellious rock to
reduce. No. is the Groupings Of No. at
the po n. wusre the lode WAS discovered.
AT this point the Groupings are massive, th.
lode being capped with huge ma ses OF g"s-
ian, the iecomposet outcroppings OF the
vtiu. The company control TIN claims upon
hi, ledge. The ore i. copper with some iron
wh ca We presume to be hs Matte. from Its
reddish t,nt. Assays from the mineral vary
fr,m -, 80 silver .nt per cent. copper, TO
81 90 iver and So per celt copper Spec

ary mn er's ioIge accompany the rock,
showing PLAINLY the Per centage OF pure
mineral is very great. No. 6is specimen
of an immense body OF magnetic iron lying
az the base of q c mountain IN which No.
uecas. Ire ore carries gold and silver and
is heavily charged with magnetism. No.
Is a crystal ed quartz heavily colored with
copper and aissnieal stains, and shoSire
some h=althy blossoms, from an eight foot
lode with a county rock Of porphyry snd
hlue slate. The walls Of this ledge are well
defined and with a handsome gouse. The
ore samples $50 Id TO the ton clear across
the face Of the leige. No. S are samples
from six foot lode situated near No. l.
The company have extracted so tens OF ore
um III. pros sect hsle on tn dump, and
have & l., ,dy OF ore in sight. Promiscuous
4 says yield S304 in gold and $50 in silver to
the ton. The orecarries Considerable galena
No. II specimen Of the compaDy's coal

soal groupings 3 eight fret with "A inches
IF cl, ar C, al as pure as the sample. The
coal " as discovered late last fall 4nd no work
has esn done toward, development beyond
putting f,ce mp, n the prospect from which
the SAMPLE was tsken. No l3 represents
ore occurirg In a lode running farallei with
a d some 60 feet below No. S. II assays
very high ia both silver and copper and the
specimen sent is pure mineral. The com
psny have other discoveri.s all more or less
promising in the same neighborhOod: one In
particu a, called the Conversions Is
bean Iful lie al ore assaying l75 ozs- SILVER.
All the principal disc ,veries were made late
ast fal, and the intervening time has been
IN ,inly spent in properly locating the same.
As result the c. mpany have now grouped
together a sufficient number of valuable
claim, to Justify the expenditure of some
money test ng their value. This, we un-
,;ersta I'd, will be ne this year. and we see
no reason TO doubt why the new district
should not become an important and perma-
nent camp.
