tains are being carried on by the
owners, ]. S. Stotler, formerly of

four claims-COntinental Nos. /, 2,

in region of abundant wood and wat
er. The main ledge is four feet in
width at the surface and down forty
feet. So far, about 100 feet of de-
velopmeDt work has been done. The
product is dense silver.lead ore, of
high value, which will pay handsome
profits over cost of extraction, pack
ing and shipment to the smeters.
The work is very likely to develop
into considerable proportions and
