 MT. c. D. Henry, of Florence. in forms the Tribune of some valuable claims recently located by him and others about twenty-five milss east of Florence and three miles west of the Ripsey mine. On the principal claim, the Bonanza, Mir. Henry says the croppings are 100 feet wide, and at a conservative estimate there are 5000 tons of ore above ground. MT. Henry, who has credentials as an assayer and metallurgist, has made some sixty tests of the ore, which he says goes from $9 to $25 per ton in gold and Is to p per cent in lead. If the ore maintains this value, and there is not an overesti- mate in the number of tons, there are more than a million dollars in sight in the croppings alone. But there are some five or six other claims equally as good. Mir. Henry is certainly to be congratulated on his valuable discover7.-Florence Tribune.

At the time this tract of land was set aside there were several mineral locations of value within the tract, namely, the Cameron, Ashurst, Marshall, Sisson and Riordan properties, all of which have produced valuable copper ore, and although patents may be se- cured to these mines, their location being prior to the setting aside of the reserve, nevertheless the owners are precluded from using timber to operate the mines, though the same he cut from minara1 land
