nineteen clai claims nig including the typo and kentucky making twenty claims now in the corporation of as good mineral bearing ground as there is in the camp this gives the company continuous feet from the claim they are now working to the creole and they have rich ore on both ends of the group there is no reason why one of the biggest mines in the camp should not be opened up by the company

be marketed next week wm Pe Per riego lego james B allen alien and earnest fisher went down to salt lake yesterday after attend a directors meeting to be held today at which officers will be elected a
