Show OPHIR'S FUTURE. Rig Preparations for. the Spring Work. Many of tho old properties in the vicinity vicin-ity of Ophir and Dry Canyon, which, owing to the frightful depreciation of lead last season, have been lying idle, will be taken hold of in the early spring and worked for all they are worth. It is also ascertained that quite a number of new properties will be developed and that already nearly half a million dollars has been invested, looking to early and extensive ex-tensive operations. The healthy advance in the price of lead is largely the cause of these active preparations, and should there be no decline of any importance, the numerous properties in the Ophir district dis-trict can be operated with gratifying results. |
