The gentleman was accompanied by
his corps of miners, and the whole
party wore bcaming countenances as
they reported themselves at the COM
Iany's office shortly after alighting
from the train. The cause of their ex-
IRENE brilliancy in appearance was the
discovery iuf threefoot body of APP
parently high grade ore in the prop
erty referred to. the same having been
encountered last Friday. The ore was
found In incine No. / from the 40-foot
level and before the gentlemen left
they had gone into 1t a distance of six
feet and 1t then had every appearance
Of permanently. Although 1t has not
been tested, the indications are that 1t
will run about 80 per cent lead, so
ounces silver and So In gold to the ton.
Mr. Taylor is highly elated over the
discovery and expresses n belief that
the value of the mine has now been
proved almost beyond a doubt. The
mill, he says. Is completed and will be
started up Just as soon as Jack Frost
