Manager Potter recently showed certificate |

In 1877 Mr.. Potter undertook to work this |
mine. but 1t looks as though he went right bv |

This mine was worked by John Walton and |
his followers in the latter part Of the eighteenth
century. He shipped several barrels OF ore to
England to have 1t assayed. Thirteen years |

used by Walton's miners In tho days when they |
had no machinery. Walton used to say that |

would be attained. II 1t continues to improve |
