2000 feet from the main line Of the Nor
thern Pacific railroad with . regular
slope from mine to railroad, although

blacksmith shop at the mine.
This strike is Of great value to that
section as IL demonstrates that the ore
there goes down. The ore in this strike
is of better quality than that ON the sur

of ore from any other found in that sec.
