TO the smelter. The ore is from the Fair
view mine OF the Seven Troughs COM
psny. and the reason for its transporta-
ton is that the mills cannot handle il
gold. q combination which proves too
much for the mills as they are at pres
e1t equipped. When the mill Of the Lon
don syndicate is is operation there will
in all probability he another story 20 tell.

just been shipped runs as high as II co.
ounces, and the entire lot will average
in value better than 800 a ton.

ond vein which has been encountered.
and upon which 2 Wine was sunk they
