Believing that all danger of any

E. church Christmas night on the
subject, The Meanest Man in
Town" The attendance was
large, and the service was enjoyed

Several parties are looking over
the Silver Plume district with
view to inves stment, and we predict
much interest in mining there by
spring. Among the properties
being examined are the Cory
City and Baltimore mines, which
were wonderful producers of early
days.
Joe Sopp is driving tunnel
west of the Baltimore mine on
level with the new wagon road to
intersect the junction Of the James
G. Blaine and Shively veins, at an
intersection of the Alaskite por-
phyry dixie. II will require some
500 feet to reach this junction at
3OO-feet depth, but when reach
ed, one of the old-time bonanzas
may be expected.

of claims on the north slope OF
Leavenworth mountain. All his
workings show well defined streaks
of silver-lead ore carrying from
two.tenths to an ounce in gold.
With a little more depth these
claims will become regular ship

Culbertson and partners, on the
Ruler, which is worked thru the
Capital, have eight to ten inches

lead, which with silver and gold
values makes a very desirable
product.
