Of ore has been discovered, which is a

Of the chimney is not definitely known,
but it shows the full size Of the shaft,
and samples taken from it show 1t to be
of marvellous richness, conservative
mining men estimating the value at
from S12, 600 to $500 per ton.
The mattea is blush gray quartz,
impreguated with vienS of gold, that
make it difficult to conjecture what
real value the ore may reach. Another
rich strike has been made in the Wash
