the ground for several MOI tbs past
Mr. O'Nei is very sanguine over the
present showing of the Uuion property
and lys that while the vein upon which
the tunnel is now b ing driven, is still
small one, yet 1t reveals metallic val
ues to the extent Of l66 ozs. in silver
aud some 80 per cent lead, and that the
limestone formation IN which the mine
lies is OF the same character as the
Ne Plus Ultra ard Rocco. Homestake,
from which two hundred tens OF high
Grade silver-le lead ore goes out 10 the
Salt Lake smelters each month. Supt.
Ahern is expecting daily 10 witness the
opening up OF The vein into a large
body of shipping ore similar TO thai
OF his nearby neig who are con
stantly adding wealth 10 their treasury
through the shipment Of ores.
Speaking nf the camp in general Mr..

idle men; business steddy, and withgl
it's inhabitants are el joying a genera
