comes, however, from the Star Consol-
dated, from which the ore is being
hauled steadily.

Charlas Brown have taken a lease and
bond on the Silver Hill group, the bond
running for two years. Work was com

distance south of the workings of the
Lower MdInInOln, winch the Silver Hill
joins, and the lessees advise US that
they propose to steadily continue the
development. The Silver Hill group is
owned by A. A. Noon of Provo and
others and is in direct line with the
vein through the Lower Mammoth and
