Nearly every week we Unit occindon to

The reaxon for thin development in

after buying some of thu old pnipeittcs
at low figure, have devcloed iiiIiicm of
great value. Thu further down thu min
ora go, veins of steadily increasing rich
net and extent are uncovered.
Compared with Arizona and Colorado,
none of the pnrtie have been follow

immense bodies of rich oru have lieeu
developed that ita owner In iiaid to liavu
refused an offer of fi,000,000 for the
mine. Ity a VOO-foot Nhaft thu Columbia
