Through the courtesy of Supt' A. j.
Bowie, of this we'll known bonanza, we were
favored on Friday with somewhat exten.
ded inspection of the mine and its workings.
The superintendenfs house stands on high
bar at the foot and little to the west of the
ore trainway, is very neat and commo iious,
with sleeping rooms, dining room, apart
ments for the servants, and the company's
Office in front. The party, consisting of
Messrs. Kellogg, ellison, Bowie, Parish and
Bartholomew, partook Of ,cofiee and other
refreshments in the dining room before as.

the mouth of which is about three hundred
and sixty feet above the twenty stamp mill
with which it is connected by a double-.rack
tramway down which the ore cars drops by
the aid Of ropes and pulley which hoi .ts
the empty car as the loaded one goes down.
About fifty men are employed in and about
the main tunnel and side cuts. The process
by which the ore is taken out has not vet
been named, 'sstoping" will not answer, for
the miners climb up the mountain of gold
quartz with picks, in the plain light of day,
loosen the ore, allow it to fall down to the
tramway, calling out to those below to

The De Smet company will erect one

expected to be in running order inside o

pose Of containing the ore until 1t is needed
at the mills. In conclusion it is in order t.
state that every foot of this, the bonanz
