DRAFT FURNACE. The little draft
furnace in the course OF erection at Bris.
toll is drawing near completion. Mr..
Bassett has made an application for
patent. and Us soon as he receives news
from Washington, he will start it up
1t will make its test on ore from the
king6sher and Mayaower mines. 1t is
the prevailing opinion at Bristol that the
furnace will prove success. If it
should, it will be Of great benefit to the
mining industry throughout the country,
as Mr.. Bassett says twenty.ton furnace
can be erected at the nominal cost of
$50, and it will require but two men to
run it period OF twenty-four hours.
The cost of reducing ore by the draft fur
mace is estimated not to exceed eight dol.
lars per ton. 1t is to be hoped Mr.. Bas.
set will be successful with his furnace,
for it is just what the mining country
needs, and especially this vicinity. Mr..
j. B. Eddy of Bristol is also interested
with Mr.. Bassett in the furnace.

OLD DAD KEELE of Panaca was in

in the country, for he called at the Office
and made us a present Of his red-headed
girl, saying that her head was so red

THERE has been some large reports in
circulation in regard to the size and rich
ness OF the ore.body in the Mendha mine,

reported, it is of great value. The bigger
the better.
For the present, we would advise all |
in search of employment to keep away |
from Bristol, as there are more than |
sufficient number of men in this vicinity |
to do all the necessary work for the |
present.
