week it will commence to run on full
time; the water is down within 20 feet of
bottom of shaft. The mill is running on
tailings and Day ore. A carload of pipes

Have reduced the force OF workmen in
the Mayfower on account of the mill not
being prepared to work the ore and the
bad state OF the roads, but will continue
developing the mine with the force they
now have on hand. The mine continu-

ever before and is in good condition to
extract ore in large quantities as soon as
it can be shipped and worked.
