MINING COMMENT. re-ena-ct Daly-We- st n, . $8,-00- 0 Daly-We- st Hal-lora- n, Daniel Clift, Frank M. Wilson and Henry Newell, Is said to be giving excellent returns in the yellow metal from the mill now in successful operation. New ore deposits are also being opened and recently a five-fovein carrying $20 a ton was found in the shaft at a depth of less than 200 feet. This has ben followed through forty feet of the same stuff downward in the shaft and along the vein by drift a distance of 120 feet, and no signs of weakening have been shown. ' I has been inaugurated between the discordant elements among the stock- - dis-tric- t, ' r holders and officers of that company. The battleground is in the Federal courts in an eastern state.
