Rare and Rich,

Several OF the ores OF tellurium are found
in the mines at Butte, Mill Creek. High
land. Maiden. Neihart. Little Rockies and
Tucker Gulch. The ores found in these
various localities differ very much in guam
tity and quality. The quantities thus far
found in these localities are small, and the
mines where they are observed have not
bsen worked to develop them, and the ore
has given no profitable result. The work
on the mines In Tucker developed some
hne masss: OF tho telluride Of gold. one of
which would weigh TWENTY-FIVE or thirty
pounds. One of these specimens was sen i
