My Boaz Claim is beginning to redeem its good name. It is being worked under lease from me, - & a rich chute of quartz struck, right back under the shaft you sunk, - the first run of 34 tons have yielded $60.00 per ton, or about $2000.00 - all taken out by two men in six weeks. - I receive one fourth.
