examination of the Highland claims
which were the foundation of the
rush to that district last winter The
ground is owned by Dick Highland
who has done a lot of development

property. The vein has been
opened for distance OF 5000

several shafts ranging from rs to
300 feet deep which enable visitors
to make a thorough examination.
Values run in gold and silver, but

Fletcher and Gallagher have 500
sacks which they are shipping from
