Meagre reports Of an important

The story was to the effect that the
lessee, Charles II. Gitsch, who has
been operating the old mine under
lease since he left the California COM
pany. had encountered four feet of very
fine ore on one of the levels where his
forces were operating. The strike is
said to have caused considerable talk

All such points as these are being

It is stated that this smelter run is
intended as a sort of q demonstration
run and it is uncertain whether the
plant will be kept in continuous opera

of the opinion that the mine develop
