and probably the same statement Is
true for the worlds production
Leasers on the Gethin LIE Roy Con-
solidated of Silver Island are shipping
In their second carload of ore. The
ore shipped heretofore from this prop
erty has been high-grade silver with
considerable lead. The leasers are
said to have an excellent showing.
Boston directors of the Bingham

easterly and last week it broke into
the ore shoot
1t has been found gold nuggets I'm.
der favorable conditions actually in
crease in size. Gold is known to have
grown on mine timbers which have
long been immersed in mine water.
In the California state mining bureau
museum there is specimen of a
piece Of jointed cap and post taken

been under water for years Gold had
formed in the joints and pores of the
wood.
Pointing out that the total amount
OF gold in the world since the discov-
