works are making good, heavy ship
ments.

Las Vegas note: The Masonic temple
is now an assured fact, the money for the
ground having been paid yesterday.

for anything over that amount. These
exorbltant prices have shut out the
Georgetown leasers and they are now in
correspondence with other smeters with
view OF shipping their ores elsewhere.
