Quartz Mining at Radersburg.

Keating & Blacker are vigorously at work taking out quartz from the Keating and Ohio lodes.  They have nearly 4,000 tons of fine ore on the dump, which will average about $16 per ton.  Their mill has been idle since last fall, but it has been thoroughly repaired and will commence crushing in about two weeks.
