 Mr. Frank Hanchett, of Lowell, Ms :, eacllusetta, has been m our canp for about ten days carcfil!v looking over a property known as the Auburn grolp oi mines, which lie southeast and adj nn. ing the famous Copper Queen claims, and in tie very center anu heart of tie
 e~al basin. The number uf cla,nis i purchased by M Il ncilett were 19 in all, comprising the Auburn group, me Ornond gtOup. the Brophy and OH are clame anu clam know,, as inc G,lrna.
 To many Il may appear strange that such valuable property as the now called i Auburn group oi claims remained so ! long @i,hon, eap'tal taking hold, bat to us here II s easily undtrStood, even

He failed to discover why an imaginary liae should make any difference in tte valne of the property on either side of It, ali hls purchase of large pro.arLy, for 4 cash consideration, whr h i,ns ti,e Cop per Queen for 3J00 feet, proves h,s bel'et III condlLlons as he found tnem to exist, after careful examination oi both hiR and the Copper Qaeen prop erty.
 In examining the property he lately purchased, Mir. HdncheLt found tine came formations, the same croppings and the came class and grade of ore as he found on the Copper Qren property, and in fact on some oi hls claims richer croppings than are to be found at any point on the Copper , l.ea srouai, and mere than tho, wnIie his holdings are inferior ln slze Lo the Copper . isen's, ne has tl,e advantage of having nearly half of his lately acqdltsd ,errltory on level ground, the A. a 5. E. k. k running right through the center uf his claims for nearly mile, giving nm great facilitates for the erection ot hls smeitinK plant and the, ecoholntca handling of [ hts ores.
 To any stranger coming into our camp it at once becomes evident that we are greatiy Tn need of su,Laule Dn,ldins ground. Our people are now building upon the stesp Inountaln side5 that to stranger would appear alnosC tnAccess. able. fine terrllo y lately acquired by Mr. llanchelt Cffrrs many tacllit.es'ani a,t vaiitages lii tile way oi a townslte that have lon. been sousnt for, cvnse- Quently movement in the direction ot
