From the Baltimore Sun, Feb 20. 50
Mrs. Sarah E. Franklin, who was married

end, and she would go to the meeting of the
said lodge against my wish and consent, would
come home at any and all uuseemly hours,
would visit adjacent cities on lodge business,
so was informed, and and my home were
neglected. This state of affairs continued un'
I'll could bear the same no longer and after
had protested in vain was told that before
the defendant would withdraw from the WON.

Mr.; Franklin then charges his wife with un-

(From the Courier D


 Superintendent Geo. A. Bethune of the mine near Mayer. has ust re- turned to san Francisco. and spoke as follows about the property: Af- ter being in charge of the property for over three months during which time I have given the property and the district generally. the most earn est study and consideration. I have no hesitancy in saying that in my judgment the Yavapai has the mak- ing of a very rich mine and one that in the end will satisfy every stock holder beyond their expectations. The ledge upon which we are now work ing is certainly a mammoth mineral bearing body of rock. It crops out on the surface for distance of from be horned from almost any portion of the croppings on this property. The big strike. samples of which I forwarded some days ago, was made at about a depth of 70 feet from the surface and while We have opened comparatively little of that rich ore so far. the ledge carries a large body of lower grade mineral bearing quartz and only depth is required as I said before to prove up the prop erty The ledge is a contact between porphyry and granite and the vein matter is about seven feet in thick ness, consisting of white quartz car rying gold and sulphurets. Cross cuts on the course of the vein in the accompaniment shaft being sunk , have encountered pockets of high grade ore showing wire gold. In all my twenty years of mining experience I never knew of a property of this kind where conditions were more fa- vorable for the economic treatment of the ore. In my judgment the en- tire cost of mining and milling need not exceed s1.75 per ton, so that you! can see that the mine has the very brightest promise of becoming a rion producer.''-M & E. Review.
