saying about 400S per ton. Judge Gra-
ham started force of six men at work
on the property while he was there and
will push the tunnel to its objective
point- the main vein of the property,
which is now about rs feet from the
breast of the tunnel. He says that the
discovery of the rich ore in the Mas
todon has created considerable excite.
ment in the district and large num-
ber of men are coming in. Two COM
panies, one from Boston and one from
New York, owning property in the dis
trict, have representatives on the
ground making arrangements for the
commencement of work and the pros
poets are that the present season will
be the most active for several years
past. The upper basin is still covered
with snow, but there is no snow in the
lower portion of the district, and all
the properties in that section are now
being worked.-Mining Record.
