somely to mine and mill. One foot of
this will yield over $500 per ton in free
gold. The original owners, who worked
the mine thirty years ago, were deceived
by a large porphyry dixie prosecuting the
mine. and, after doing but very little
prospecting, abandoned the property. NJ.

little about the peculiaTties of veins ano
ore chutes, in consequence of which fall
ures were the inevitable results.-World
