wife and the deputy, if escape
could be effected.
Anderson told me" said Ho y.

GOOD ORE IN THE SHERIDAN

A strike of good concentrate
ing ore has just been made on
the property Of the Sheridan
Mining & Milling company. The
ore was encountered Wednesday
and samples have been brought
to the Office of Joseph F. Whe.
Ian Of this city. The full ex-
tent of the ore body has not yet
been ascertained. The strike
was made at about $50 feet
from the beginning Of the drift
and at an estimated depth of
$50 feet. The strike is of con-
siderable Importance in view
Of the fact that about 100 feet
Of work still remains to be done
before the showing made in
the upper workings is encoun-
tered at a depth of 300 feet.
The property consists Of five
claims located on Butte creek in
the Murray section. The ledge
shows a surface width of about
eight feet, the formation Of both
the foot and hanging walls be-
ing quartzite and the filling be-
ing galena and quartz. There
