It id owned by Chief Justice Hunter, Col. M. Shaughncssy and H. G. McMillan and though in its infancy in point of development, has an immense body of very high grade ore in sight. Adolph Jcsscn recently got up a very fine map of the property, in fact wc think it the handsomest map ever mounted of a mining property. The mines in this group are the Silver Bell, Red Cloud, Eudora, First Chance, Mono, Henrietta and Balance, besides three mill sites. The ore carries a large amount of free silver and twelve assays averaged 264 ounces silver, 40per cent. lead.

There arc eleven men at work and the boarding house and sleeping apartments are comfortably fitted up and the workings being under cover developments are rapidly advanced regardless of the weather.
