BETTER THAN HE EXPECTED

That il has been demonstrated to his satisfaction that the pay streak on his lay on the Niggcrhead association is much wider than he had anticipated is the statement Cf Walter Fisher, who was in town during the week. His tunnels, he says, now show that his paystreak is at least 300 feet wide, and it is possible that further work will show that it Is even wider. There is yet an area of G0,ooo square feet of pay to work in the first block of ground which he thought last fall was nearly cleaned out.
 MT. Fisher is at present sinking new working shaft and he is now down to depth of 150 feet. Lushbaugh & Sandstrom, who have tie adjoining lay below, are down to about the same depth.
