 John Boyle, Jr.. and Edward Wy man. of St. Louis, arrived in King man last week. Since that time they have been making an examination of the Vanderbilt and Orc Plata mines. The Vanderbilt is showing up good ore in the drift from the bottom level of the mine and work is to be pushed in sinking d deep shaft. The Oro Plata mine, which is under con sidcration. is one of the best gold and silver properties in the Ccrbat range.
