smelter. which averaged from 300 "a
500 ounces in silver per ton This ore
was removed from points near the sur
face, and as il occurred IN lenses the
superintendent was rather skeptlcal as
10 It's permanency. W hen WOrk was
stopped a tunnel had been driven to cut
the vein at considerable depth, prob
ably 500 feet below the apex, and was
within a point 100 feet from the vein.
The property reverted to the owner,
and Mr.. Bernard resumed operations
with Joseph Scott, a practical miner, in
charge. The tunnel was continued to
The vein where from two to five feet OF
shipping ore was encountered. This is

An important placer sale was made
in the Altar district when the COrri-
ente property, belonging to Ben Bray

MA parties who were represented by

WAS Sl25,000 u. s currency. in rea SON
able payments. Work will be started
at once, il being the intention OF the
new owners TO sink a series Of holes to
bed rock which on account of its depth
has never been reached. This and ad-
joining ground has been worked inter
mittingly for the last 100 years by the
natives, and it Is said that something
ike SlOO, 600, 600 in gold has been recov-
cred from an area Of about six miles
square. As the antigua" workings are
confined TO the surface and 10 man
tas' near the surface, II is thought that
rich channels viii be found on bed
rock, which should be found at from
100 to 500 feet deep.
