In H!

In Hvj advancing upon the gold-bearing chan- H '' nel eight samples have been taken HH; from the breast daily and put through Hj :i i the furnace, with results showing from Hi r j.SO to $70.20 gold, with an average be- Hl J ; iween those extremes affording a clean Hf;j margin In a competent planL To tap Hl'1 the wealth at greater dopth work on HL the projected tunnel will begin as soon Hjjl supplies and equipment can be dc- p "vered on the ground. "While the Log r Cabin tunnel has become more promi- H i nent In view of the presence of ore H along the drive, it Is no more Interest- H , I pr, nor did It begin with greater possl- H, unities, said the president of the Gold H, Development company, than those for which the companion ones are headed.

On his visit to camp President Frank-I Frank-I lln was accompanied by Gilbert J. 1 1 Palen and E. A. Canfield, both of Phila-! Phila-! delphla. The former, a son of Dr. Pa-t Pa-t ln, who was a visitor In Zion during , the early days of the Niagara of Bingham, Bing-ham, was very much pleased with the undertaking and results that have been J so early accomplished, and promises to repeat his pilgrimage at a period when there Is not so "much weather" in the ' diggings. The register reveals that President Franklin has adopted Marysvale as a . permanent habitat, to all of which he proudly pleaded guilty when indicted nn charges of desertion.
