Mr.. Boutwell, is highly pleased with

For the past year the company has

came out of the drifts. Some OF
this ore was exceedingly base,
though carrying high values, and the
result was that the solution was often
fouied, and consequently much time
was lost, and the tailings frequently
ran very high. Many experiments
were made in the treatment of the
base ores, which were not discontln-
ued until it was definitely determined
that the only successful plan was
by roasting. Now the mine is sufficient

In fact. mining men from far and

was 2 fitting tribute paid TO the mem
ory OF Marshall, the original discoverer
of the yellow metal in the Golden state,
but the utmost respect and catering
attention was also paid to his old as

first gold was found and who are the
only survivors of this now historical
event. two of whom are Utah citizens,
while the fourth is now living in Ari-

In referring to the mineral display
at the exhibition, Colonel Pickett states
that it was most excellent. each cOun-
