Of Dodd City, who speaks by the
card, reports the biggest strike of
the year in the Clear Jack shaft,
which property adjoins that of the
Bear Hill mine The strike adds still
greater Importance to the locality,
for the reason that the top Of the
Clear Jack shaft is 100 feet below
the top Of the Bear Hill shaft
For the benefit of the public it
should be explained, that two pur-
poses are in view, instead of one,
when ropes are put up by prospect
ors when engaged in making drill
tests of mineral land. 1t is done for
the purpose of preventing outsiders
and owners of property from sailing
the hole, as well as for the purpose
of preventing others from reaping
the advantage of labors and expert
ments the cost of which runs into the
thousands.
