The nnY sacks Of Readjusier ore
sent TO the Billing smeltsx by Messrs.
Aikes and Robinson run siOs per ton,
This was not quite as much as the own
ers expected but considering how close
ly IL was sorted. II Is an excellent show

ciously. Beside the ore that was ship
ped there Is u barren looking rock In
the vein in large quantities which
runs forty dollars In silver per ton. AS
a property to work fog a concentration

Judge Nicholson did assessment this
year ON his August Burgess claim In
the north end of the Cuchillos, in a
new place where he struck some Of the
finest ore that has ever been found in
that district. The Judge sunk n forty
foot shaft and run q twenty foot drift
on his claim two years ago but struck
n fault in the vein which he did no,
succeed IN passing. At the new place
he found ore the equal of anything
heretofore discovered with II strong
probability OF the vein being intact,
In the district where this claim lies
there is the probability of making some
of the best mines IN the country but
the necessary labor has been lacking.
The ore ii silver copper glance running
as high MS $3.50 in silver ger ton.
