tinues undated. The keystone, north Of
the gulch, is becoming truly bonanza.
Strike after strike has occurred in this
property during the past six months, the
ore bodies being large and rich almost be-
yond belief. The mine is shipping some
thing over carload daily, and the output
will be materially increased soon The drift

mile north, is being pushed rapidly, and
its completion will be very beneficial to the
property as regards air and the handling of
waste.

of something over one hundred tons daily.

level north of the shaft is reported.

tenor of its way. 'Say nothing, but saw
wood'' seems to be the motto of the owners.

as eXhaustless as ever and that there is no
decrease in the amount of the ore shipped.

ore in the past, will very materially in
crease its output.
