helm: dllven to tup nil the veins of
the piopeitv.
The cm dice ore show heavy oxida
tion, but with depth, and heluw the
water levels, sulphides appear, which
is indicative of permanency. The
character of tho 010 in the vein 10
centlv out is strikingly similar to
that found hi the lower levels of the
California, which well known prop
erly the Overland adjoins.

cellent shape and ill a position to

has been productlTo of good results,
ami nn obstacle appears In the way
at tho present time toward placing
the Overland on the basis of a pro
