more than $200, by the miners of that
mine.

the ore to the mill.
The cross cuts on the 200 level have
shown large bodies of ore on which
they are nowdriftfng.
They are also cross cutting from the
bottom of the shaft on the Tip Top and
expect to Boon encounter the same vein
from which Sullivan is extracting such
rich ore on the adjoining property which
he recently leased from the Trade Dol
lar Co. The ore on the part, of the vein
where opened up shows extra good val
ues and there is no doubt that the Tip
Top is sure to produce a large amount
of very rich ore. As soou as the Banner
mine is developed sufficiently to work
to advantage enough miners to extract
ore in quantity to keep the mill stead
ily running, the stock holders will begin
to realize dividends that will soon repay
them for their investment.

Mr. M. N. Fegtly,
Dear Sir:- I did not have an opportunity
to see you after the conclusion of the last
term of court at Silver City to express
my appreciation for your courtesy and
forethought in not discussing the Lawson
case m your paper prior to the trial.
Such conduct evinces a rare appreciation
of the position which a newspaper holds
towards the community in which it cir
culates, and is a distinct aid in the ad
ministration of the criminal law particu
larly.
Buch importance that required so little
time to secure a jury, owing almost whol
ly to the lack of discussion of the facts in
newspapers, thus precluding the forma
tion of disqualifying opinions in the
minds of jurors.
