At rs nice immense UojIv of ricti ore is visible, and from fpur to six hundred tons can be seen on the dump.

The addition or a mill site at the foot of the bill makes thia property very valuable, as by means of a tramway the owners can place ore In the mill at a cost of not over two dollars per ton.

The Rutherford B. Hayes mine, at Bear Butte, owned by Mes-rs. Mc-Shane, Reid, Allen A is developing itself in a wonderful manner. In the tunnel, which is about 40 feet, the lueky owners have struck three feet of solid ore, and the vein is pitching downward at an angle of 45 degrees.
