made by Ed Moran on the Gold Prize
ground q mile and u half to tile north
Of Vernon. which careful development
since the discovery was first made, i
copule of weeks ago. Is proving TO be

a distance of 140 feet. by five feet long
surface trenches. which practically ex
pose an ore zone OF 80 feet in width

trenches exposes the same network OF
quartz stringers, which carry much

with Mr.. Carmack and that they We're
on their way to the state capitol in
response to a telephone message from
Gov. Patterson when the tragedy oc-
cured; that Senator Carrnact had
been warned and was expecting
trouble.
The friends of Senator Carmack

lists of ore shippers. under the name
of the Ruby Pioneer. end the second

This old mine paid a profit to its

suppose that the old property will. with
proper management. under the better
facilities enjoyed. pay greater dividends
in the near future than it ever did in
