ore. A strike was made last week, in
the Hobson group of mines, which will

Hilsboro Advocate: AS an instance OF
the capabilities Of the Hillsboro gold fis-
sure vens<ns present condition Of the
Bonanza, the principal mine OF the dis
trict, may be presented. This mine now
employs, directly and indirectly, about
fifty men aud is making an output of over
$3.50 900 a year. Starting with an origi-
nal capital of less than $4,000 the profits
have been sufficient to build roads, con-
centration works, necessary mine build
ngs and to pay regular and handsome
dividends. AS development has pro-
gressed the ore vein has widened and in
creased in value and the reserves, in sight
alone, are greater twenty times than the
original cost and working capital Of the
mine.
A rich strike was made last week in
the "Nada" claim at Central City. The
ENTERPRISE says: "The sample for assay
as near as could be judged, without
weighing, was three and half pounds,
which when washed, amalgamated and
reorted, yielded three-fourths of an ounce
of clean gold. Upon this basis, the ore
will approximate in value 81 per pound.
Visiting the property, hole three and a
half feet in depth, by six feet in length,
was found, and the west wall from which
the ore was stripped was plainly visible
The vein which furnished the rich ore is
small, being but three and half or foul
inches IN width, but as no amount OI
development work has been done, it is
difficult to estimate the value of the
find"
