come u Grent Benefit.
The gentlemen who have been consid-
ering the proposition to erect ~sampling
works here held a meeting the other
evening at the Rainbow Climb, at which
the matter was favorably discussed.
That such works will be built here this
spring is beyond all question as the
proposition has advanced to such astage
that the speedy erection Of the works is
almost q %foregone conclusion. At the
meeting Mr.. Spruille Braden presented
plans for works to cost about ~Sl1,OUOand
the gentlemen interested expressed
themselves as favorably impressed with
his plans, which will probably be adopt
ed. The erection of such works here
means q great deal for this section, az
ores from Neihart, Barker aud other
camps will be sampled at this point aud
their respective values d"termIued al
once.
Mir. Bradcn has gone to San Francisco
and until he returns nothing definite
will probably be dunn in the matter.
| Still everyone can rest assured chat the
sampling works will be built here.
