EDITOR STAR:--Hearing of rich strike in the Sample mines, your correspond. ent made q visit to them, and was showh through the property by the courteo4is uperlntendent, Mr. H. Barnha1t, formerly of the Mammoth, accompanied by Mir. Boucher, one of the compafly from the east, who is on visit of In spection and awaiting the result of sorh development work.
 We found quite an active little casmp with work ill hand by three shaft khe present owners, St. Louis parties, F. ur- chased the Sample Group in the spring of 1887 and began it's developmentI ill August of that year. The developnf lent followed the vein which IS regular with well-detned walls and with a pitcH of about 50 degrees The No. 1 shaft is down 1922 feet; the No. 2 shaft 100 feet and about 160 feet of levels have been run. The ore is high grade, cltiehy sulphide, with chloride and occasfonal native silver. The work has follI lowed more or less rich mineral its fntire course and two shipments of as9orted high grade ore have been made frorb D 1t. A level is now being run to the ebst at depth of 175 feet and the shaft At the same time is being sunk upon it. This level has been proiec ted about 40 feet. The first 20 feet followed the char;t tcteris tic sulphides, richer if anything than those previously encountered. Eumer ous tests of it made by MT. B}prnhart ranged between 150 and 800 k,zs. A sma Il slip was then run into, whi4h upon being Satsslrough, the vein opented into native SGSer, the first of any quantity met with in the vein. It does ahminerar loving eye good to see the roof, Hoor and face of the level spang ed and threaded with the shining metal as it is h@re.
 The native was struck but two days ago and so far has been run into about six feet. The dump from this ore Is very handsome, the native gliskening in every part from the smaller pid tes to the larger 10 to 90 pound chunks.
 The strike has caused lively inter- est in the San Pedro district ahnd those who have always held there fNas some thing big down in the Sample vein are bout with their didn't tel Hnyou so. The owners are conservati}e }e capital ists of St. Louis. They bought the prow- erty on its showing after several careful exam in ations, as an investmfnt and not for speculative purposes. They organ ized the San Pedro Mining elm pany, did not list tfaelr stock and drivelfor realizing, but put up worklrasipnds { Id prosecut- ostentat. on. They have been well , pleased with the previous work pnd showing of Mir. ,Barnhart, but when . news of this lateS strike reaches them they will congI4tulate themselves on their judgment fn buying the Sample i Group.
 The managing hoard of the Sample are , James Rlchards&, of the Richardson U drug Company, esident, Alvah Man sur. of the agri urai implement house, , Vice President $. S. Porter, Treas ! urer, and Joh Williams, Secretary, a all of St. Lo,
