the Western Pacific for shipment
to Utah. II is said the company has
considerable low grade ore on the
dump. Of which a good sample
will be forwarded in the car with
the high grade. In the event the
low grade shows a profit several
carloads will be shipped in the near

fUur-horse outfits doing the haul
ing.

been received. from Los Angeles
by Barney Brothers. 1t will be

ments can be made. The Barney
Brothers are pioneers of the Lynn
mining district and have some val

taken considerable gold from their
placer claims already. and with the

no doubt, realize a handsome
profit from their holdings. Samples
of the valuable sand have been sent
to various places with a view of de-
t%ermining the exact value of it.
Two four-horse outfits belonging
to Geroge Arthur left for Lynn
