use them for extracted honey. The fact
that such cans can be had for almost or
quite nothing is tempting indeed. be-

IN THU MINING ARENA.
MOSES TAYLoR'S RECENT VISIT THERE.
Mining near Bcnver-Othcr
Items of Interest.

The return of Moses w. Taylor from
q visit to the Washable mining prop
critics on the Utah-Idaho line, brings
with it the news that all is well in
that locality and that from present in
dications the company has something
which before long promises to blossom
into II paying proposition.
MIR. Taylor went out TO the mine sew
eral days ago and returned yesterday
morning. His visit was prompted by
the splendid reports from the property
and he got there just at time when
the men employed were standing over
u bunch of rich looking ore that they
had Just brought to the surface. The
ore came from the Bullion claim at a
point where the men were working, and
samples of 1t brought down by Mr..
Taylor show 1t to be fine looking min
,ral and mineral that promises to as
say well in gold, silver and lead, when
put to the test. II Is n white quartz
carrying free gold, around which is Il
formation which sparkles with riches
of silver and lead and from Mr.. Taylor
IL is learned that it looks more valuable
by far than mineral from which assays
OF q per cent lead. 20 ounces silver and
So in gold were recently obtained. OF
this grade of ore the miners have en-
countered 4 body between four and
Iive feet thick.
Another claim connected with the
company's possessions Is the Chloride,
from which assays of 300 ounces in
silver We're recently taken. This claim
has an immense showing of good sill
yer ore and in n short time viii be
worked as the Bullion is now being
worked. From this piece of ground
the owners expect much in the near
future.
The Washable company is now erect
ing a mill for the treatment of It's ores.
This work 1t is believed will be COM
pleted in the course of a month, when
the ore will be concentrated and
shipped to the Salt Lake market. The
mine is located 30 miles from the rail-
road. Kelton station being the nearest
shipping point.
Mir Taylor is delighted with the
showing. His visit has convinced
him that the company over which he
presdes has a good showing. and his
report to its directors Will be one of
much encouragement.

of finely Favored berries.
