to have run into a good ore shoot
in the drift lie is running from

able that tie will soon commence
the taking out of ore This is
the same lead from which E. \V.
Herschberger took out a consid
erable amount of good ore a cou
ple of years ago.
Thai the mill on the Reliance
Mining company's properly at the
head of Dome creek was started in
continuous operation on Tues
