A temporary blacksmith shop was

BY q permanent and moro substantial
structure to the north and east Of the
main building. It will be built on .

DUMPING ROOM.
On the surface the shalt was raised
10 feet. and the building. Of course.
stands about seven feet above the lsvsl
OF the street. The space beneath
the building will be Allied In with
waste up TO the floor. making
solid foundation. and the yard will also
DO Allied level to the doors OF the build
ing. There Ia but little space outside
the yard for dumping room. and when
IL il nlled the waste rock will have to be
csrted away. so that every ton OF rock
deposited underneath the building and
in the yard Ia o saving to stockholders.
MEN ExPLorrD-SoTrs.
There are thirty men employed 10 and
about the Ken,uek mine and works.
On the $40 level only Ia there room
underground for sorting ores at present.
90 most OF that work 10 now done on the
surface dump. Before long. however.
chambers will be ~sIoavatsd on all the
levels In which this can be done. aud
twice handling the rock dispensed with.
There IL nothing allowed to 60 to
waste. The old timbsrs that are taken
out OF the mine are used for Are wood.
aud It IL thought that the supply will be
sufficient to furnish the works with all
the iusl needed.
TIE TOTAL o~osr-PUTuRr PROSPECT.
The building has been erected, the ma
chinsry purchased. the shaft rstimbsrsd
and the work performed or the surface
and underground prior to the August LIST
at Il total cost OF $l4.0 From the lst
instant the mine has paid its way and
the hope and expectation 10 INDUCED In
that the stockholders have been called
upon the last time to pay an ssssssmsnt.
There 10 not . rich ore body In sight.
The management depends mainly upon
the ore found In the filling Of the old
drifts and that portion Of the mine left
untouched a. being too poor to work In
early days. In this ground. that was not
considered worthy OF attention In the
frat fush times, rich punches and stresks
are occasionally encountered odd there
is . probability that the strssks are but
feeders to . main ore body not far away.
OF one thing the stockholders msy
rest assured: There 10 not Q dollar ex-
pended that 10 not judiciously invested;
that the mine will be worked for the
benefit OF the many and not the few,
and a. economical % possible with
safety.
