Show SILVER. Several times specimens of silver-bear ing rock from our west mountains have been shown to the writer, and some ot them appearantly very good specimens, Claims have been located and woiked and some are now working and make a good showing. We have often heaid of "big" assays from these parts, some, uj them up into the hundreds, and it is a mitral rrtaintv lhat witnn ilav a L'orwl ledge will be found and good mines operated. A gentleman Iron) Wales, said on Satuidav night, that several years ago he lound in the west hills about three-quarters of a mile from that place, a pocket, or chimney, 10 inches across and lour feet deep, from which he took ore that assayed $16 in silver and 10 per cent, copper. This was evidently a break from some ledge higher up in the hills, which seems to be the case in most of the discoveries in these parts. There is no doubt that some day, some lucky orosDector will find a vein of ureal value prospector will hud a vein ol great value in these mountains, when the prospecting shall be carried to higher ground. At least, it appears to bejagood field lor the prospector. |
