The Olympia mine, formerly the Mar
teniz, is being worked by James Bssett
and j. G. Ogden. This is the first work
done on the claim, although the crop.
pings in many places show considerable
high grade mineral. The shaft has been
sunk twelve feet, three tons OF ore run
ming two hundred dollars in silver per
ton has been taken from it. MessIs. Bis |
settsnd Ogden are frst-cIass miners and

hands.
Owing to the fact that suits involving |
the title to the Diamond Joe mine in Ce- !
dar district viii be tried i'm the District /

mine, during the past eight months, has
been opened up in good shape. There
are now nearly one thousand feet of tun-

ore chute has kept regular width of
over two feet for ninety feet in depth and
shows I'D bigger and better than ever in
the bottom. The mine should have a
mill erected on it right away that the
thousands of tons Of ore. too low grade
or shipment, may be profitably worked.
we mention the fact that no
,re OF a value Of less than one hundred
dollars can be shipped with profit from
hat district.
