group of limestone hills. rising from
saucer-shaped basin of granite. There
has not been a great deal Of work done
on the direct outside contact between
the granite and lime. The Copper King
is a distinct exception in this respect.
The showing made there gives every

IN THE STAR DISTRICT.
In the old Rebel and Harrington

number of Independent claims of which
all have been producers Of consider

able distance above the line of granite
contact. The workings to a depth of
$50 feet in the HarringtOn-H Hickory and
Adelia mines have developed a some
what regular system of lead-silver
veins, having q general direction north
and south and an easterly dip toward
the contact. Ores as high in value as
5000 ounces in silver to the ton have
been mined from this territory, but the
