the most significant discovery of the

is that at the Portland mine, where
a vein OF ore twenty-five feet wide,
averaging $50 a ton, has been encoun-
tered. The finding of this large body
of ore at depth of 1000 feet, say min
ing men, demonstrates that there is
a second stratum of ore in the district
mines. and a resumption of sinking
