The chances are that the district will
turn out three or 70 ir big mines but
have not seen enough to tell you for a
certainty OF the formation or the extent
of the ore bodies or where the walls are.
A few shafts 100 feet deep will help to
solve the problem
Because there was no corner con venirnt
we only had Mr.. Benner against the
wall and he wrisglei out one side and es-
capped. But we got enough from him to
know that Olinghouse Canyon has every
promise of being very prolific gold

noggishness displayed by men who have
located everything that looks like rock
and have located regardless of ledge,
or of direction, or of law, and have
more claims than they can prospect in

required bylaw and in ninety days they
will have more grievances than the pro-
verbal sorp-toed boy.
