Among the valuable mines in active process of beitis developed, along the hue of this dike, are the Virginia whieh lies between be-tween tho diko on the lower side, and a parallel formation of rotten granite on the upper, and which shows a large leposit of excellent ore. The next important claim iu following tho line of the circle, is the Lion, a mine so valuable that it is crowded rather heavily with adverse locations. It is a , very attractive spot of earth; so much so, that there is a general inclination, notwithstanding the name of the claim, to locate other claims in provoking propinquity. pro-pinquity. The next large body of ore, sutheient in tiuantity to authorize the erection of a good-sized 0,'aartz mill is the Tiger; then the Petaluma with whieh the Koyal Uengal animal is in controversy; and last on the line the Zella, whieh exhibits a considerable amount of ore. liesiues these principal. princi-pal. there are located on the general line of deposits, numerous claims, some of which show a tempting display of chloride ores.
