Our Butte correspondent writes us, say
ing Thompson-Towlc the mining claims
which have been regarded as next to
worthless for several years In what ss
known as the northern part Of the dis
trict are nowadays bringing prices which
even dazzle the owners. 4 claim known
as the Ready Cash, which All oldtimer
has held for many years, and which
year ago could have been secured for &c.
00O, or even less. the other day changed
hands for $1,000, there having been &c.
90 paid in cash and an agreement 70 pay
the rest in the next twelve months. An
other claim. know as the Management.
