The fame Of the old camp is being
spread, and miners looking for work
are coming in almost daily.
Messers. Lincoln and Butnuh are
developing theif property; it was
formerly know as the Henrietta,
and has produced some good ore.
The ore was shipped to Frelberg,
Germany and after paying all ex-
penses, netted the company a hand

from the Slopes or the 100 foot level
in the Viola. The lost lead, or rather
the one which had never been really
found, has been caught in the east
cross-cut OF the south drift on the 100
level. The superintendent and all
hands are highly elated over the pros
pect of a big mine. The vein is as yet
small, but is widening every foot it is
penetrated. The ore is a high grade
Of sulphuret, aud closely resembles
that of the Bob Lee, which is a sura-
cient guarantee of its excellence.

boarding boss, you know, and recently
blowed himself in for an even half
dozen OF tomato catsup, small size,
much to the delight of a few star
boarders.
Some Of the boys carry their lunches
in a three gallon water pail, and still
they kick at the price charged for
