Il 10 known that during the past ysar or

Cable lead became involved through the
failure of Nowlan 4 Weary, and the caving
of the mine. compelled . cessation of active
operations ON the old opening, and the
mills have stood Idle or their operations
held q confidential. For three years, how.
ever. Messrs. Cameron, Hauauer, Aiken
and others have been working on the Same
hill, and after sinking shaft and running
tunnel they, some months ago, struck an
immense body at ore which they have since
been taking out and crushing except while
detained by putting in machinery and
pumps to dispose Of the surplus water.
Whether this il the Cable lead or not does
not make particle Of difference to any
