property at Ragged Top will come up
from Nebraska this week for the pur.
pose Of holding a meeting at which time
it vii. be decided whether or not to

on the ground. The shaft is 435 feet
deep and we understand the indications
will fully warrant sinking to quartzi,e
The fact that several old employees haye
been retained gives crcdence that oper-
atoms will be resumed.
Samuel Scott Of this city q few days

duct in Iithia, regular shipments will be
made. The bismuth ore is also from
near Caster. II is an average sample

tain bismuth in sufficient quantities to
pay a profit owe freight, treatment, etc.
