him a large quantity of Christmas toys
and trinkets and the little fellow SEEM
ed to be perfectly happy with his faith
err and his toys and did not want to

ture could be CLEANED from the man
ayers, 1t now transpires that the mine
Is soon to take It's place among the big
producers Of the state. a body Of ore
was recently broken into in the mine
and had been followed for the last 80
days. During that time the vein has
been sampled, thoroughly. A sample
having been taken every day The re-
suit Of these has proven that the ore
has an average value OF $40 per ton.
As the ore Is an oxide proposition this
quality Of ore can be handled at big

Mr.. Dern says the body il n very
large one as the vein has proved to be
80 feet in width. With such a body
OF ore In sight IL IL very probable that
