That the taking over Of the ~

Valuable Acquisition.
The acquiring of nearly 300 acres
of ground adjoining the Nabob claims
places control of great belt of lead
silver bearing ground in the hands of
the Nabob officials. The step was
strongly advised by c. r. O. Merriam
well known mining engineer of the
district. who personally examined
and reported upon the merits of the
proposition The Nabob ledge en-
tends through the "N' group and Sc
cures great depth in this ground, ma
king it most important that this
group be added to the original hold
ings. Upon the "V'' group there are
two drifts upon parallel veins, over
100 feet in length, which have expos
ed ore, the ore especially in the So
foot shaft carrying 10 inches of high
grade. All developments thus far on
the two groups are near the surface
but they show ore in good quantities
and give every indication of CONNER

Plan Of Development.
Approximately 400 feet of tunnc
work will cut the "V" ore bodies Il
n depth of 500 feet and under points

made and an additional 500 feet vii
cut the Idaho vein at 600 feet depth

land awaiting milling treatment tht
exposure of two additional ore shoots

iuured the Nabob officials will be
more than justified in proceeding
with the erection If a large conccn

Long Period OF Time.
The lease and bond covers period
of two and one-half years, giving tn.
company ample time to explore tnt
ground which it can do in an econoln
