where they were given special alien

Will a slab of almost solid silver
cornering the big writing table iu
the MupaU hotel, George Quigley
and Charles W. Taylor entertained
a few frieuds by demonstrating to
their satisfaction that tbe value of
i he ores was in the neighborhood of
S a pound An assay certificate
gave tbe value at $11,750 per ton,
which is something better than any
of the highgrade that has been ex
hibited here recently. The display
laused some surprise, since the fact
that the pair had been instrumental
in taking over an old properly fairly
bristling with this kind of stuff had
not become generally known. The
mine is within sixty miles of Tono
pah 'and has been operated and
developed by one man during the
past eight years, when he continued
plodding away digging out chunks of
almost solid silver and shipping them
lo market so as to make a handsome
living with the white metal down
around the aO cent mark.
A company has been organized to
lake over the holding which includes
eight claims in Jefferson canyon, five
miles from Kound Mountain. The
company is known as tne iiver

follows: Dr. .1. McCarthy, of
Ooldfield. president; C. W. Taylor,
vice president: George W. Quigley,!
secretary and treasurer, who form
the directorate, with J B Witt and
J. W. Hanson.
This company took over the prop
erly from John Seever two weeks
ngo and now has twenty-six sacks
of ore at the mine that runs at the
rate of a dollar a pound, which was
laken out in the course of six days
by one man. Mr. Seever by himself
blocked out 2O0.000 tons of ore and
modestly indicates one ledge 24 feet
in width that averages $30 a ton.
while a stack of sacked ore counting
if, packages. Is known to carry an
average of $1,000 a ton. The mine
is well situated for economic treat
ment and development, as it is a
