Work on this Standby.


Once more has work been started on
the property Of the standby COMPANY
in Rorchford district. So far but a few
men have been employed, but w. v.
Brigham, who is acting as superinten-
dent, states that he has this time come
10 stay, and that the working force will
be increased, and employment will be
given to quite il number Of men. The
force at present employed Is at work re-
pairing the old ditch and nu'ne, in or.
der to put it in a condition for convey.
ing water To run the sixty-stamp mill.
Mr.. Brigham is confident he will be
able to obtain good ore from the Stand
by in sufficient quantities to keep at
least a portion Of the stamps in motion.
while a number Of men will be engaged
in driving a tlnneli To tap the mine ut
Il lower level. In case the workings
will not ADM, Of sufficient ore being ex.
trac.ed from the Standby to keep the
mill running. Mr.. Brigham states that
he will crush ore from other mines ia
the ncighborhood. So far rs We can
ledrn it is the intention Of the superin.
tendent to keep the mill at work after
il Is once started up. at the same time
DEVELOPMENT Of the mime il in progress.
Ii Is probable that considerable time
will elap,e before the ditch. hume, tram
way, etc, can be placed in "A condition 20
furnish water and convey ore to the
mill, nnt it is evident from the manner
i'm which the work is commenced that
Mr., Brigham intends to have the stamps
dropping before winter. In order to
keep the water running in the hume
during the winter much work Of cover
ing will be necessary.
Rumors are again current that WORK
will be resumed on the Minnesota, which
it is said will shortly pass into the hands
of new company. We cannot voucll
for the correctness of the reports, but it
is probable a short time will tell.
superintendent Underwood, Of the
Garfield Mining company, operating on
Silver creek, recently paid up all indeb,-
edness Of the company for labor and
material. Development upon "a mine
owned by the company two miles north
of Rockford has shown up some good
ore, and Mr.. Underwood considers him
self justified in moving the old Charter
Oak mill from its present location on
Silver creek to that place. The arrange
ments for moving the mill are complet-
ed, and as the distance is but short the
machinery will soon be open its new
site ana vii! be stated at work.
Altogether, the prospect for Rockford
district seems to be frightening. and We
hope 1t may continue to grow brighter
rs the work progresses.
