This shaft follows a vein of free-milling ore 35 feet wide and averages $8 per ton. The Amazon was worked some seven years ago and a ten-stamp mill built on the ground, which did not prove a success. The property became involved in litigation, and until recently has stood idle on that account. It is considered one of the very best of mining propositions and will be the scene of considerable activity the coming summer. A stamp mill will also be installed at the mine.—Roubaix Globe.
