The ilevelopment on these con-ists of nil ndit NMnety-seven feet in length ; showing two feet and ten inches of ore in the ton; and a little over three feet wide in the bottom. With assays ranging from fit 08 to $70 er ton in gold. About four hundred feet In a southwe-t ilirection there i a shaft on the vein ten feet deep, showing the vein to lie twelve inches wide in the bottom, from which I dug average -ample from which I secured from U.7tl 'o HO in free milling ore.

Organize a club, then send an expert to examine the "STOHM KING" MINKS, he will easily satisfy you of the richness, of our property. "Note" The increased depth of the shaft mentioned in Professor Kberman's report was done in the interval between his ex amination (Bid that of Captain I'aul. It was only done to prove conclusively the permanency of our ledge-. All the ledges can be easily worked by tunnels, thereby saving vast sums of money.

Mayor McColloch returned last eveulug from Baker City, having driveu up iu bis cutter, lie was attorney for A. J. Stluson in bis suit agalust C. J. Johns, involving title to the Maiden's Dream group of claims, couslstiug of two quartz aud one placer. lie says the story of the suit and verdiot, as published iu The .Miner yesterday, creates a false impression, though iriHccurate iu only one point. It was au error iu saying that the placer claim reverts to the govern, uieut, because the assessment work had not beeu performed, ills client holds it uuder locatiou made Decern. br ID, 11)03, because the assessment work bad not been doue. This ground, which includes the mouth of tbe tuunel opening up the quartz claim b. aud tbe buildings thereon was awarded to A. J. Stluson. Title to the quartz claims alto rest largely ou the assessment work proposition. Tbe verdict, be says, was a com promise which does not satisfy either himself or his client, and a motion will be mado for a new trial. Jf this Is denied, tbe case will be appealed to tbe Superior court. Ills most im portant witness could not attend the trial at that time. Ho it seems that the case is far from being disposed of. Attorney McColloch saya that Mr. Stlnsou was never u stockholder In tbe company; that compauy stock was In escrow to guarantee a payineut of $1:1,000 due him on the prop erty. DECIDED TO PUT IN CYANIDE PLANT. Fortunes Made hi Miffing. The uuparallelled prosperity of the mining industry at tbe present time has caused widespread public attention. Fortunes are to be oh tained by following mining aud by Investing in mining stocks, and tbe business men of today are realizing ths fact and profiting by it as in no other period of our history. There is an element of hazard Iu every busi ness, but not as great a risk iu mill ing as baa lieen Imagined iu tbe past. Mlulng baa beeu reduced to a busi ness. Improved machinery, scientific knowledge aud business management place- mining ou as safe a plane of operution as that of auy busiuess re quiring all of these elements. Mil lionaires and multi-millionaires are made in tbe marvelous busiuess of mining. Where a company exeraises great care in the selection of its prop erties, expends sufficient mouey in telligently aud well, every stock holder of that company will be bene flted by rapid advancement of bis stock and by rich returns from tbe mines. National Banker. .John IS. Cassiti, secretary and treasurer of the Akron company, aud W. II. Kisenhour, one of tbe heavy .stockholders, returned from the prop I erty today, where they have been conducting Investigations with a view I to installing a cyanide plant, aud left for Spokane. They were acouin I pauied by G. W. Boggs aud his sou Kay, who were there to make tests of the ore to the eud stated. Before leaving Mr. Casslu stated to a .Miner represeutative that, a cya nide plaut had beeu definitely de cided upon, and will be Installed I just as soou as all the tests have been completed. No conclusion will -be reached concerning the style of plaut uutil these are all In. Dr. Ileudryx is testing some of the ore with his agitator, but the results are not known. The mill is now closed, aud will nut resume uutil after a cyanide process has beeu installed. This mutter Is to decided as soou as possi ble. Mr. Hoggs says that he regards the Alamo as a first class oyauldiiig proposition. j and the skin of the beast are iu a perfect state of preservation, although i tbe tlesh is somewhat decomposed aud the big tusks, are iu good condi tion. It is estimated that the akelo !iou is worth about 150,000,- hh thero 'are but one or two of them In exist euce Iu as good state as 'tbia.
