miles northwest OF Charleston, and in
dications are promising for some de-
velopments there that will be worth

cations of some good ore bodies being
found In the companys ground. 1t is
said, Farley Hindmarsh, secretary OF

from. the property and is exhibiting
some fine specimens To his friends In
Provo.
The tunnel is in $50 feet The first
work was done on the property many
years ago. The original owners al
lowed tho work to lapse and finally
lost the property. For years II has
remained idle
A few weeks ago an old miner went
into the tunnel in search of tools and
discovered a hole through the face of
the tunnel into the cave. Further In
vestigation proved that the original
owners had stopped within a foot OF
the cave. In this cave II is hoped that
a body of oreNwill be discovered.
