ness and 1t is their intention to build
a rubber factory here II they find
conditions favorable
The Needle mountains are to the
front A new era mas dawned for
that district
The Wilton group has opened up a
large body OF very high grade ore.
John Bloom. superintendent OF the
Bullion Mountain Mining T. Tunnel
company, is in the city from the
Needle mountains and brought with
him large chunk Of bismuth silver,
which makes the eyes of everyone
bulge who sees it. Commodore f. N.
Wilton, wac is general manager of
n 2 company, and also director an
the principal stakeholder. waa seen
by a reporter today and learned the
following in regard to the strike:
The company mas SO patented
claims. The strike was made on the
Aetna. A tunnel was driven In l, 400
feet. A nice streak OF ore was dis.
covered last fall In this tunnel at
distance of 800 feet from the mouth
The tunnel was continued, but not on
the pay streak. After the tunne! had
been driven quite a distance Mr..
Bloom went back to the s0O-foot point
and started to follow the pay streak.
Three cars were shipped from this
continued to widen until now there
is solid streak OF bismuth silver,
such as the sample brought to town
by Mr.. Bloom. 30 inches wide. An az.
say from this shows a value OF 1850
ounces silver to the ton. l ounce In
gold and 10 per cent copper. The ore
looks exactly like the richest ore that
used to come from the Yankee Girl.
Custom and National Belle at Red
Mountain The lead Is estimated,
from surface Indications, to be about
SO feet wide. A crosscut to the other
wall mas been started and another
pay streak about two feet wide but
not SO valuable as the first, has been
cut. Work on the rich streak has
been continued for 1876 feet. the point
where the sample brought down by
Mr.. Bloom was taken from.
A large quantity of ore has been
sorted and piled up in the ore house
ready for shipment as soon as the
trail will permit This ore, It il es-
t!mated. will run not less than 800
ton. But large amount OF stop
ing ground is now opened up. and
since the big strike has been made It
Is more than likely that the next ore
taken out will have an almost fab
ulous value.
Only small force has been work.
ed up TO the present time-seven
men--but Mr.. Bloom will take mors
back with him and all the men that
can be used at present will be put
on. Only IL or IL can be accommo-
dated at present. The trail will be
shoyeled out at once NO shipments
can be commenced.

heroes went abroad, and sought out
the peoples Of the earth. and subdued
them. but her apparent strength at
last proved to be weakness. She
lost the art OF cultivation In the
scrimmage Of conquest, and. after a
prolonged domination, she found her
self heterogeneous mass Of uncon-

instead of being received to house
