Another Big Mining Deal.

Galena Gazette: Mention was
made in these columns few days
ago that business negotiations had
been opened with the old Peru, or
Blackjack Diggings, in Rice town
ship, not far from Galena, by Wis
consin and Chicago capitalists and
others for purchase, and Wednesday
the deal was entirely consumated
The deed to the property in question
has been made out and signed and
the price of the land, which was not
small one, was paid over at the
same time. As to just who the new
owners are is immaterial at the pres
ent time, but 1t can be said that the
widely known and practical super
intendent of mines, j. w. Nc Laugh
lin, of Benton, knows all about it,
While there has been gradually
growing mining boom dawning on
Galena for some months this deal
undoubtedly caps the climax and we
can look for more remarkable era
OF mining history for Galena than
has ever before come to her lot, which
is saying IA great deal. In this in
stance it is no prospecting campaign
of discovery. 1t is known that the
ore is there and all that is necessary
is the making of proper arrange
ments for securing it. This will be-
gin at once. In fact men are already
at work there and many others will
be put on as rapidly as they are
needed.
