The rainfall at the Angel mine is
enormous, averaging 200 inches
per year. The erosion of the
country rock and the washing
away Of the earth is in keeping
with the rainfall, and the quartz
will average at least twelve times
harder than the country rock.
This is the reason that the ledge
has held itself in place, ani made
an exposure of this body of quartz
over two hundred feet out Of the
ground. The mine can be work
ed like a quarry rather than like
a regular gold mine and it will
require forty pears to exhaust the
supply of quartz. There is a for
ty foot streak that will run seven
teen ounces of gold to the ton of
ore.
Colonel Deitrick grew reminis-
cent when speaking of the mine,
and told of the olden DAYS when
the natives were in search of the
golden treasure. He had been on

Parkersburg, W. Va, June
14.-Elmer E. Pope is going on a
long journey. He will leave in
few days to inspect some valuable
mines in Nicaragua in which he
is interested.
The trip will not be without its
adventures and includes a ride by

Captain A. P. Gordon, of
Wheeling, is to take a squad of

mines in the world. 1t is known
as the Angel mine. The ledge at
the Angel mine extends in width
about 400 feet and is about 5000
feet long. 1t has been developed
in the south end for distance of
700 feet, exposing 100000 tons
of ore, averaging $40 to the ton
of free gold, with a rich streak
averaging II ounces to the ton of
pure gold.
Mr.. Deitrick was here to order
two hulls for dredge boats and a

what the standing of the man in
the community might be if he had
been guilty of violation Of the
Federal liquor laws, then he must
