There have been scores of holes sunk to bed rock during the past two months without encountering pay. The only ones who are in shape to do any thing this summer are Greer & Me Nulty, the discoverers on Masto- don. Both outfits will be working in a small way this summer.
 No new developments are looked for until the drills are put into use here The whole district is staked, and there Is not much to induce new arrival to prospect wildcat" for an interest.
