This opinion is further strongthonod by the fsot that nil efforts to plok up tho said run of gold in the other adjoining mines havo failed, and as there can be little doubt but that the said rioh run of gold has not died out the strong probabilities are that It will be found in this Company's mine, in fact, many are positively of that belief.
