SILVER PEER PROPERTY TAKEN 0vFR
WORK TO Be COMMENCE NEXT WEEK

The Silver Peer property was tax
en- over by company with the same
name. The group lies to the south
and east of the Nevada Silver Horn
property and has the continuation
OF the porphyry which appears so
prominently upon the big mine. This
porphyry can be traced from the zoo
foot incline on Crompton Hill clear
across the Silver Peer property.
There has been considerable work
done upon this group, and a shaft
little over 100 feet has been sunk.
The shaft is vertical, and cut an ore

are reached.
Progress averaging about thre,

to be broken before the miners
break INTO the big silver bed.
The rock now being broken is
what is knowE as Gladstone shale
and Is heavily banded with iron. the
fractured zones containing an ap-
preciable manganese content. Sam
pies taker from the bottom of this
mineralixed material contain a small
silver content. indicating the PROV
unity Of ore.
Water Flow Constant.
About eighty gallons of water are
now coming in at the shaft bottom,
this water. in addition to an estimat-
cd flow of about one hundred gal

area adjacent to the number two

present equipmert.
Every effort is being made bv Su-

visitors to the shaft bottom com

Fumes Send Joe Platzman to
Marriage License Bureau With
Another Woman.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.--The romance
that rests in whiff Of the opium pipe
brought Joseph Platzmann first to the
Marriage License Bureau and later to
the courts on bigamy charge, he told
Judge Alfred J. Talley yesterday.
Joseph. who is thirty-four, has been
. model husband and father for five
years. No thought Of the Primrose
path entered his head.
That is, until his boss gave a party.
Joseph accompanied the guests on
their evenings excursions, including
q trip to Chinatown. There, accord
ing to the story Mr.. Platzmann mar
rated in court, the pipe OF peace"
was passed around.
At 7:45, with q head in which the
opium fumes made pretty pictures OF
delight. Joseph stood with woman
he had never seen before at the Mar
rage License Bureau in the Municipal
Building. Five minutes after they got
the license they were married. Three
hours later they encountered a friend
of Mrs. Platzmann's on Fifth avenue
and remembered the forgotten real
tiles.
Judge Talley heard the narrative
and suspended sentence.
