most enthusiastic He said, the high
grade streak from which such phenom-
enal ASSAYS were obtained last month
had been followed down fer a distance
of fifteen feet and has opened out III
a two.foot ledge Of fair-grade ore. Ow-
ing to the inability 10 get in mining
timber and the cvumbiing nature of the
hanging wal in the incline, this work

ervthing was lively :nG tnat the popu-
Ia-iou of the district had more than
doubled since his last visit, about six
weeks ago.
Mr. Redmond on being seen said that
he considered that in all probability
the district would, before the end Of
tho year, be n close rival Of Goldheld:
'.When YOU take into consideration,
said Mr.. Redmond, '.that most of the
mines of tho Goldfcid district are con
square, and then find that the Seven
TroUghs district has opened up at least
ten different mines over an area about
FIVE miles long and two miles wide,
which are sacking high-grade ore, and
that the first ore was uncovered III
September of last year, and that work
has been seriously retarded by the In
ability to get supplics over the rail
road and the high prices charged by the
road TO the district, the showing Is ono
that exceeds any other district hereto
fore discovered in Nevada. ~
