lease of Florence ground was to have
been made this week. A carload of ore
on Tuesday was ready and in all likeli-
hood is To- on its way to the smelters.
A more promising condition of affairs
than now exists in the lease is rather
difficult to imagine. hTe shaft is down
200 feet and about 900 feet Of work has
been done. The winze from the 70-foot
Level down to the 173-foot level returns
assays which in places range as high
as 81, 715 the ton. A second winze from
the 173-foot mark down has been sunk
and is all in ore. January Jones states
that the last assay taken on July 18th
showed returns of $3.50. Work is pro-
crossing steadily.

Dungeons of Naples.

From the London Globe.
 While working under tho street level of the Arch of Alfonso d'Aragons the work men came upon a sort of cellar which opened out into a series of small cham bers opening out onto galleries. All were strongly built of stone, and in the dim light the explorers were for long time at loss how to explain the mystery. It was revealed at last by the aid of can dies, which exhibited on the walls rude drawings and despairing invocations for divine aid-evidently from men in prison. some doomed to death and others to hope less confinement Chance had brought to the light of day those abodes of horror and misery, the underground dungeons of the old kingdom of Naples.
