dispatch got here to-day from Supt.

Mass, for Idaho to-day. The mine is
showing up well. In the upper tun-
mel they have fine four-foot ledge,
supposed to be continuation Of the
ledge Mr.. Turner worked last winter,
as it is the same character OF quartz
aud prospects fully as well. IN the
cross-cut run 800 feet from the EN-.
trance of the lower tunnel . very
rich eight-inch seam has opened up
and quartz is heing run into the mill
at q rapid rate. The mill will start
up in a week or ten days and proba-
