Rich Ore in Village Limits.

Fritz Lehman is showing with
much pride and satisfaction a very
rich piece of ore which he found
two miles south OF town last week.
1t is away ahead of anything
found in the late Lamoreaux strike
at Elk City, and while not a very
large piece, it is Highly probable
that there is more where it came
from, and some prospecting is now
going on in that vicinity. The
basaltic Gaping ls nowhere very
deep along the foothills an. under
meath it the granite comes in, and
it is likely that the sample shown
has been exposed by erosion.
