The German mine IN the cuehlilos Is

says that during the past few days he
has been taking out u the German the
best ore by far that has ever been pro
duced by the property. which Is max
ing \ big assertion for the German has
given up some exceedingly handsome
and rich ore. The new ore comes In
from the hanging wall and cuts acruss
to the foot wall on which the incline

Is from folr TO seven inches wide

feet wide. OF this solid ore which Is

that the mine will eventually become
