partnership with S. K. Bradford and
lanes Gleason. The returns were $500
in gold and $4.77 in silver. The Sevyer

erected at once near this property, the
grading for which has just been COM

thirty of which will be put in at once,
is to be erected a quarter of mile be-
low the Sevyer ground. A site has
already been selected for it. The main
ledge on lease No. of the Sevyer is
about feet wide, but the rich values
are taken from pay streak about Is
inches in width. The remainder of the
ledge will average about $50. The
other leasers are all getting good pam

strikes.
