Geo. VI. Bowers, Superintendent Of the |
Nighthawk mine, has taken sixty day
bond on the Rip Van Winkle mine for
bis company. The terms of the bond /
are not stated, but We believe they are
very favorable. By acquiring this prop
erty the Nighthawk company will en-
chance the value OF their own mine |
thousands OF dollars, besides becoming
the owners of one of the best mines in |
that section Of country. Nearly all the
development work on the Nighthawk has
been done from the Rip Van Winkle
ground, and the tunnel now being run in |
to tap the Nighthawk nearly six hundred |
feet IN depth traverses nearly the entire
length OF the former claim. The two
claims are looking well and in fact the
Nighthawk is looking better than ever
before. Ore OF the richest kind is show
ing mp in every opening and thousands Of
dollars will be taken out in the next few
months. The mine under the able man.
