Costly and Atkins, leasing on the
Southern Boy mine in the La Plata
mountains, have cut three-inch
streak of high grade ore that assays
$4.50 per pound. The ore carries 41S
ounces gold and sixty ounces silver to

shaft that is being sunk in an open
cut where some good ore was mined
two or three years ago. The South

camp of Mayday, and the high-grade
