Mir Yarnell is of tho opinion that ex- ploration of these other channels will reveal much pay dirt at bed rock.
 The octave mine has been leased by a firm headed by MT. Davis, who has been connected with the property for 2 long time. and he feels sure that he can show the present octave company that there is still some pay rock left In tho octave mine. Ii seems to be the general impression that he is right and the general hope also that the leascrs will take out enough to prove the Octave a producer when operated rightly.

McGill of Chicago is here visiting the mines and learning all about gold digging The property is equipped with four Nissen stamps said to have a capacity of thirty-two tons per twenty-four hours. The prop erty is good one. and should become a regular producer.
