rich samples of silver lead ore, and
says there is plenty more Just like it
now being mined by Mr.. Larsen.
Since leaving Nogales Charley has
been down in Sonora, Mexico, where
several months ago he and his asso-
ciates disposed of a group of copper

they have a winner in their siIver-lead
property, and development and ex-
ploration will be pushed under Mr..

Mr.. Isaac King, who for many
years has been opening up and develop

having come in to purchase camp and
mine supplies. Mr.. King says that
his property is looking fine. and is
daily increasing in value. He is now

can be taken out. Mr.. King has
worked very hard on his mines which
adjoin the Gladstone property, of
which mention has several times been

this city.
