This is decidedly the best property, for the amount of development, that we have ever seen. The main incline has attained a depth of 2o0 feet on the vein, from whieli the vein was crosscut ted at the depth of 120 feet ami found to he Lm feet. About i'!M feet from the mouth of the lunm an air- shaft was started for the surface and shows ore all the wav. Ten feet from the bottom of the incline adrift has been run Ui teet on tin vein, with tin lace in excellent ore. This mine, as sampled by Prof. Newberry, averaged 842 in mhl, and, estimating 20 cubic feet to tli" ton, we believe there is not less than 100,000 tons ol ore in sidit the actual li'nnvs beim1 n a small limestone lld,2o0. Excepting boulder, which is seen abou SO feet from the bottom of tin incline, nothim but on greets tjie eye from the time of entering until your exit from the mine. Truly an immensely valuable mine is the Uommcr-eial- . The ore L of a decomposed ipiartz and the formation in which it i found is limestone and ipiartzitc. ( )ne man can easily knock down from In to 20 Ions per day and it is very lim milling ore. Hand samples have been obtained which showed hy lire test over 84.0 per ton ;o!d. The mine is admirably situated for furl bur explorations, as a (ramwill connect it with the narrow way half a mile ruai;e railroad in the eanvou below. Those who decry the mines of Bingham, thereby hoping to advance their own immediate district. are certainly barking up tin vrnii tree," as will be learned erelong from the present outlook.
