found to run 80 per cent copper The
exact location of the discovery is known
only to those interested
Some of the ore in the Reddy mine
at Deadwood assays 100000 to the ton

Mr.. b was a young man OF this
class. He was always painfully profuse
in details regarding anything he. wished
done. He had a parrot, of which he
was excessively fond, and when he was
about to go abroad for few months,
leaving his bird behind him, he bored

AS if this was not enough, he had no

On receipt of this the Infatuated
