Belleveu Lead Mine

George Kunz, one of the partners who are working the newly discovered lead mine north of Bellevue, was in town Saturday, and in conversation stated that, so far, the mine was fully meeting all expectations. Over eight hundred pounds of lead was taken out by the two boys in two days work last week and at present writing it seems quite certain that the new mine is a bonanza.
