One Car Of Ore Nets SIO,2OO.

Well, if you had a car load of silver ore, and you got word that after you had shipped the ore that check for $l0 200 awaited you a result thereof, you would very likely think you had some silver mine, wouldn't you? Well, that same thing happened to Council man George w. Norton, last night, and when the senator left here this morning. in company with Fitz Mac, the mining expert, he was about the happiest man that has visited Yuma for some time A 45 pound chunk of this ore. which was on exhibition last night at Paul Maretti's, is valued at $223 and is about as near pure silver as it is possible to get silver ore.
 For several years past Senator Nor ton has been finding silver ore in more or less large quantities around hIs place at Moh awk, but never until about three weeks ago has he ever been able to discover ledge where there was more than few hundred pounds of the ore. But the first ot the month he hit the ledge, or what looks to be the ledge, and the above car load was the first shipment of the ore from the new ledge.--Yuma Ex- aminer.
