Quijotoa.

Ipe last of the machinery and ms
 teriais Tor the mill at Quilotoa has eon, forward and the work of construction Is progressing with all the rap,dity nos sibie Tn such formidable enterprise
 They are working as many men in iti erection as can be handled without con iusion' and the builder expects to hay, the stamps ready to drop by the first o september. He is pushing the work {, speedy completion in order to SO t, the Wood river country so soon as DOS sible where he has contract to erect I Very large mill.
 The water pipes from the well in tn, valley are all laid and ready for the water. The pumping machinery is about all m place and the pumping works winch are massive and substantial, will oe ready to send up the water to the mill early in July.
 Three regular shifts of miners are at NoIk ln the yar;Ous tunnels. drifts and Winzes, and everywhere that a Burleirh uriiI can be put to vorK the mountain IS being penetrated. The connection between Peerless Tunnel No. 7. and CrOcker No. ,, was made this week. All the ore sent to the mill will pass through tEe Peerless tunnel and by tramway cars to the mill. IuIs tramway Is noN re- ceiylng its iron rails. Tt, re are two cars and ihe ore Teaches the mil by its gray atk- EIA fmll ta L. k-r oue. As nearly 8s .ossIbls everything ao'at the miHes aId mil ara construct. ed "lth View Co economical working, EEd when the vast quantities of ore now accumulated on tue Various dumps beSlns to descend 10 the mi, th re will be a constant stream of preclous rock flowing into its Iron jaws with a constant output of silver bullion.
 Even on the top of mount Ben Nevis about thirty miners are employed get tlng out ore. A boarding house has been constructed for theIr convenience, on tn, hlil, by ArchIe Nivens.
 The whole system of the devei p- meat by the bonanza company seelns to be almost perfect, and when the mill starts Cp there will be To occasion for lts stopPage, unless the water suppl, gives out, and that is a highly imprcOa- be suppOsllIOn.
 Ihe town of Lagan bs gins t. show more lIte and improvement, an1 some of tHc miners who nave taken their fami- nes to the place are erectIng houses. Ine new brick house O. Charley l. ,ld- win IS the most complete gem of Q res'- deEce, for its size, that can be found III the Territory. The camp IS quiet, to be sure, for every one, even those cOmpa- nIes who own large mining properties, has been awaiting the result of the bonanza company's experiment. The final succrss that will c9owr its efforts tine production of bullion .n quantity will stimulate developments on every hand and produce an activity in the town. Every person has the most abi3- ing faith III the glorious future of the town, but do not urge nor look for a "boom' that will occasion another dis astrous reaction. As the place grows it will prosper solely on its merits as productive camp.
 Adjacent to the bonanza camp, ex- teLdiug over an unlimited area, is one of tne most wonderful mineral belts m the world. All along towards and be- youd Covered Wells there are small vei-s of very high grade milling ore. VI ater can alse be had m almost unlim- tied quantity, ID the valley anywhere, while at or near Covered Wells IL comes close to the surface. 4 custom mIil erected almost any yEhere m that vicinity could be supplied with all tie ore 1t would require. and the mine owners there would reap a ricn reward for tueIr labors. The dumps at these various mines now cOntaln from one ton tu one th uSg.i :o-s Of ore that will average ei ashty ounces to the ton. AS rule the mine owners have not the means to ship even their selected ore. and indeed there IS little encouragement for them to do so, Gs the experience of others in ship ping even hundre i-ounce rock has prov en disastrous failures through some -pcc.es cf supposed robbery. A good custom mil, c, nducted upon square base. would yI,li a legitimate profit of astonishing proportions. and such an e1ta7prlse IS worthy of the consideration q practical mil men and capitalists.
