TIMELY NEWS FROM
 PARADISE DISTRICT
(Paradise Record,


 It was learned here Tuesday tha the small shipment of lead-silver ort made recently from the Hilltop by Hands brothers was entirely satis factory. It contained about 15 tons and the net returns were $500, or $40 per ton after deducting freight and shelter charges. The shipment was sent to the Fl Paso smelter. The ore was particularly rich in iron. as much as 30 per cent being carried. There was penalty charg ed for the silica content, but this was more than counterbalanced by the credit given on account of the iron carried.
 There is more rich ore than could be shipped. as well as a large quan. tity of ore of lower grade that could be concentrated or hand-jigged on the ground and then shipped at a profit. Several shipments were pre- viously made from the property and ali paid well. One of these shipments though not considered of high grade ore, yielded s23.35 net

 Metals Gaining; Looks Good.
 With the rise in the selling prices of silver and lead. this districts pros- poets grow brighter-such is the con- census of opinion here among min ing men who are watching the up- ward trend very eagerly
 F. c. Bernoudy is an experienced shipper who is well posted on ore quantity and quality in the lead-siI- yer belt of this district, having made several profitable shipments from the camp. Noting the steady improve ment in metal prices. he said:
 That looks good for us. and hope it will continue As soon as sil- yer reaches @ or 65 cents. several properties here nof idle could ship. Even now lead brings a price that is quite satisfactory, and when both are higher and silver is around 65 cents shipments can be made to pay.
