Mr. Chrlsholm ls much elated over the results of the assay and also feels much encouraged from reports received from other points to which he has sent samples. A small sample of thc alumina was sent to Niagara Falls, N. Y., and ho has been requested to send a larger sample there at the expense of those making the request. A sample was also sent to the Smithsonian Smith-sonian Institute at Washington, D. C-. and he has received a flattering acknowledgment ac-knowledgment from the officers of that Institute. A number of capitalists from New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles An-geles have recently Inspected his property prop-erty and they were all highly pleased with the outlook. The albumin ls abundant, there being be-ing a sevcnty-llve-foot ledge of It, and as there Is little other mineral with It, this rather valuable ore can be mined without much dlfllculty. J. C.
