to make the trip out to the Nevada
properties. All of the testing ma

Reports received from the mines are
Of a very encouraging nature. Great
bodies Of high grade gold ores have.
been blocked out ready for extraction
and It is said that there is over a mil
lion dollars worth of ore in sight The
properties are now developed with
seven tunnel levels but in order to so
still deeper orders have been issued by
the captain to commence sinking from
the lowest level at q point some con-
