news from the La Platas: The Neg

almost from grass roots, will again be
on the shipping list, just as soon as
the wagon road leading to the mine
is admissible to traffic.
The Fassbinder group comprising
eight claims, with an up-to-date de-
velopment of several hundred feet,
principally in tunnels, presents an
excellent showing and rich tellurides
have been broken from the under
ground workings as well as from the
outcrop. The work mapped out for
the incoming spring is a 25O-foot
cross cut which will tap one of the
claims of the property at about eighty
feet deep and facilitate easy and in
expensive development of the entire
group. The Fassbinder brothers, own
ers of the group, are to be classed
among the trail blazers of the La
Plata mining district. They are pa
tient, persevering prospectors alter
mating between working their pros
eects and hustling for the essential
grub stake wherewith to go ahead.
