HOSTING MACHINERY
of the latest pattern has been ordered. No
expense Is being spared that skill and ex.
perience in mining could suggest to devel-
op the Poorman properties with all possible
dispatch. 1t is certainly great property
and is being admirably managed by one OF
the best mining men in the country. This
ore, like the Tiger, is galena bearing silver
and admirably adapted for concentration.

property is owned by the Messrs. Jones' OF

San Francisco and Wardner. The Jones are
old miners. bat are at q loss to know
whether they will not find galena ore below
