previous. The present prospects for

From superintendent Batchelder we
learn that nearly all of the machinery
of the Cross mine has been moved to its
new site about 400 Yards from the shaft
Of the Golden Summit. A sawmill will
commence work of saving lumber for
the mill building in a short time, and Il
is expected the stamps will be ready to
drop on the Summit ore about the first
of May. The ore encountered In the
crosscut at q depth Of $50 feet returns
good prospects in the pan. There il
considerable sulphurets in the ore, and
assays indicate that these are rich in
gold. 1t is the intention to make a RUIZ
with the stamp mill to learn how much
gold may be saved by this simple pro
cess, and experiments will be made by
other processes to extract the gold from
the sulphurets. A force of men vii
shortly commence work Of running
drifts from the SHAFT to make an ore
supply available. Hosting works o

pressions of sorrowful surprise by all
of Clusters citizens, and every man, wo-
man, and child who had the pleasure
of deceased acquaintance will mourn the
death the genial. whole souled man who
was everybody's friend.
The deceased was in his 10th year and
was one Of the first pioneers 10 enter
and locate in the Hills, at first on Castle
creek, but since rs he has made Custer
his home. Last fall he was elected
sheriff for a third term, a suAi lent evil
dence Of his popularity, and Of the high
esteem in which he was held by the
people of Custer. Having lived on the
frontier for the past Is or 80 years he
was Q typical western man and many
there are throughout the west who have
met q helping hand IN the person of the
deceased and we are sure that when

name Of John I. Code, the balance will
be largely on the Heaven side and en-
title him to u residence in that city
