been current hero concerning the wire
ami character ot the ledge. Mr. Bar
gent wiyn that he has no desire to boom
the mine and will lie satisfied if the ac
tual fuctH aro understood by the jeoplo
hero, who hold most ot the shares. Tho
ItigJeffrieM Ih near the Hed Itoy and tho
ore Ih exactly ttimilar to that which has
made tho Hed Hoy famous. It in not a
high grade ore but Ih free milling, and
since tho limits of the ledge have not

lieves that it offer big tbiugH for tho

dividends within a year, but that is a
Hhort tiinu in mining development.
