deposits by counties and by mining
districts. 1t covers 361 pages and con-
tains fifty-five illustrations. including
maps and geologic sections and sew
eral half-tone views.
The first shipment Of bullion from
the Snake mines. near Hillsboro. under

$500.

has discovered a big deposit of iron
ore near the head Of the Gran Quivera.
In shaft down between thirty and
forty feet he took samples which as.

the discovery to be an important one
and the deposit, which lies under the
