days since received letter from
Frank Jardine, consulting engineer of
the Columbia Gold Mines company,
which is the name of the corporation
formed by Mr.. Busch and his friends.
The letter was written from Gold Cir

information that ore had been struck
on the company's IS ground that panned
extra well. Mr.. Jardine is regarded
as an ultra conservative and thorough

In an article recently published in
the Ely Mining Record, Gold Circle

the advertising of the gold camps of

men. The camp was discovered only a
few months ago, and no ore has been
shipped. The locators have been busy
doing recording work, and have made
no attempt to get out shipping ore.
Still, it is well known that there is
