A letter received by THE CITIZEN from

principal owners OF the Gold standard

enormously stated in the article In ques-

deep, with u drift OF l25 feet. All the
gold near the surface has been taken
out, 10 that there Is virtually nothing In
sight now, although an abundance OF
free gold can bs seen at the bottom OF
the shaft.
Mr.. Csrley says that but for the crude
manner In which the mine has been
worked. the shaft might have been $50
deeper than 1t is to-day. when 1t could
have heen sold for twice the amount that
1t actually brought. The mine Is now in
the hands OF an expert miner, who will
undoubtedly develop In the proper way

mountains contain IA much precious
mineral IA mining camps In other states.
This would undoubtedly result In attract
ing capital TO the mines OF the territory.
