Riggs lease on the Earl Mining Com
pany's ground, that in prosecuting
from the 50-foot shaft ledge was
encountered from which very high
paintings were taken. The Johnson
lease has forty tons of ore which will
run $45 per ton, taken from a sur
face cut. They have shaft down
so feet and are also getting out ore.
The LaLime-Moore lease is down Is
feet and has struck three feet OF
quartz containing small stringers, as
says from which show an average of
$14 per ton. The Chapman brothers,
of mill fame, have secured a lease
on the Earl Mining Company's prop
