Chunks of this ore cany up to SO per cent lead. It Is it cube galena. However, How-ever, Homo of the pure stuff shows u ' remarkable lamination vnto In lent! Mel islts.

Nolans Cause Little Rush When It was learned a few months ago that the Nolans wero pushing work on tho property and tho indications indica-tions that It would mako a producing mine, quite n number of Hyrum people peo-ple and others hurried up to the place and tho result was thut a largo contlnguiioiiH territory was located. As tho locators havo until next jeai" to porform their assessment work It Is thought thnt they will do lltt'o work this winter. However, somo locators lo-cators are said to have money and will spend It on their properties. Mie Nolans expect to operato oil winter nuil by spring to show ipilto n ton nngo forwarded to tho Salt Lako vnl-loy vnl-loy smelters.
