paid tho monoy.
Thl property wiih purchased by n
HoHton Hyudicato about three year

reason and another ovor sluco.
Lant fall a paymont wiih defaulted,

is low down under a heavy wiihIi.
If thoro is tho "making of u inlno"
in tho district it is tho Gipsy Queen.

and is attracting a great deal of
attention. Tho suniplo was taken from
tho fuco of tho drift lu tho Glasgow
crosscut anil carries heavy gold
values.
A Himillor sample of tho simi
lar oro from this body assayed
by Hobbins &. ltobblus gave ovor
8200 to the ton in gold. It appears
evident that this oro is from a large
and permanent hotly. This property
Is making a showing equalled by
