Mcnamara & McNally this week
brought In some ore from their Ready
Cash mine at the Noon camp, which
they sold 70 the Nogales sampling works,

that mine q veritable bonaza. Their
first class ore went 1884 ounces OF silver
TO the ton and assayed 54 per cent lead,
whild the second class ore run 235 ounces
OF silver and 40 per cent lead. As the
boys hsve plenty Of this kind Of stuff in
sight they can confidently rely upon hav-
ing ons Of tho best mines IN this part Of
the conntry.-Nogales Herald.
The old employees Of the Silver King
mine are being replaced with new men as
rapidly as circumstances viii permit.
When Mr.. Lyle first assumed charge Of
the mine liberal quantity Of extra dry
Mumm was dedicated to the ceremony,
and it is now believed that "mum" is TO
be required Of every miner regarding the
condition OF the mine, hence all possible
confidential relations between the mine
and outside parties are TO be broken
off by complete change in the medium
through which they might be carried on.
This is the usual method adopted by the
bonaza company, and If any advantage is
TO be derived from the exclusive knowi-
edge Of the developments made, they pur-
pose to reap the profits thereof.-Florence
