Found to Be Rich.

about IS miles away, and indians We're
hostile. The worth Of this property
has in way been overlooked by pros
pectOrs.
Those familiar with ore Of this coun-
try vary materially as to the probable
value Of this specimen shown. ranging
from $500 to $1,000 per ton. The guam
tity Of this ore has as yet not been Civ
en- out but it is said the vein or lode
is large. Work is being pushed how
ever, and a shipment Of the ore will be
made probably by July Is as already
three tons are out and ready for ship
meut Now.
The Calumet Copper Creek Mining
company has placed three additional
teams on hauling concentrates from
their reduction plant and mine to
Mlnkelnan for shipment to the Doug
las shelter.
H. c. Crozier Of Phoenix. has spent
several days at the Carmichael camp
on Ash creek. His mining claims,
which are situated near the intersec-
ton of Ash creek and the ella river in
the saddle Mountain Mining district
VIII probably be developed and ore
shipments made.
