We have thirty inches OF pay ore IN ms

wt1ezed from the mouth. where Il was
eighteen inches We have shipped 70 the
Everett and Tacoma sns.ters fer the past
two years, the sme.ser returns showing

would also &c about 5 per cent copper.
h1t we have had no assays Cor that metal.
We have made three shipments and are now
n position TO continue regular shipments.
We have over I0a tons OF ore on the damp,
some O. which is sacked ready for ship
