The Herald is under obligation to B.
A. NJ. F'roisetlh for map published in
1871 showing twenty of the prin-

cerned dlne map is still up to date, as
but few of the boundary lines of the
several districts have been changed, and
for this reason the map should be in
demand, as it is excellent and accurate
in execution. Ms. Frodseth has a few
of these maps left and can accommodate
those of his friends who desire to Sc
cure them.
Dan ClayS was in from Bingham yes
terday with a twenty-ton shipment of
higal-gTade ore from the Julia Dean
mine, in Markham Guich. When Mr..
Clays went out of business in this city
he was quite heavily involved, finan-
ciaily but since then he has worked
with the energy of a dozen men in the
DEVELOPMENT of the julia, Dean mine,
and now, since he has struck it rich,
and has been able to make several Gre
Shipments, he begins to see light ahead,
and if he is not Numbered, ne will soon
be out of the woods and be able to say
that he does not owe a dollar to any
man.

to the ton. Mr.. Hencley is now driving
a tunnel to cut the ledge at a depth of
one hundred and seventy feet. This

covered on the American Eagle on
the top of a steep and rugged mountain,
and a teT-foo6 shaft disclosed a two and
a half foot body of mineral carrying
values of IS per cent lead and 260 ounces
in silver to the ton. In order to work
the mine more advantag eously, a tun-
mel was begun this spring down the
mountain side, and at q, distance of 226
