ship another carload from the Grand
mother lode adjoining. but with
different vein. A carload shipped

One of the most extensive and prom
ising holdings is that owned by
Robert Harper. an old timer of the
district. The Harper claims aggre-
gate seventy-fve acres, and are so
excellently described in the recent
report of "A mining engineer which
we have at hand that next week,
News-Champion will devote some
little space to them.
