has done more mining than Edward
Meloy, and in late years his son, +.
d, MelOy, has been associated with
him in nearly all of his undertakings.
They have not only spent their own
money, but have interested outside
capital to the advantage of the bust
ness men and miners of this section.

big lead, and if they continue to go
down there is little doubt but what
they will find heavy deposits of lead

reached as only the upper runs have
been worked
