The company will push prospecting and
developing promptly, and all necessary ad.
| dltions to the mill will be made to meet
the demands. The outlay during the last
two months has been heavy; the cost of
prospecting, including the connection be-
| ing made between the Alpharetta and the
Alma, increased the payroll and helped to
| materially augment the regular current
expense Of the works. Every department
of the mill is about as perfect as possiole'
and under the charge of Mr.. Loney, fore.
man, runs uninterruptedly. Inc last
cleanup made on Saturday, december
is. resulted in 555 ounces, amounting to
s9,573.75, at valuation OF $l725 per
ounce. This was the product of run of
between ten and eleven days, some delay
having occurred by excessive water In
the lower levels. Manv important inn

noticeable throughout the camp, while the
preparations for winter have been ac-

THE BLACK CLOUD.
encouraged with the showing on the Black
Cloud and is confident that 1t will develop
| into big mine. They now have three
| teet of good ore and the vein 10 growing
pereceptibly stronger. The latest reports
| from the property are that there are strong
indications of cutting into another and
much larger body of ore. The present
showing OF the mine is sufficient to justify
the erection of a concentrator.
| STRUCK ORE
! The owners Of the Easter Sunday mine
| are jubilant over the strike OF ore in the
crosscut. The mine had been worked con-
siderable, but for some time there was
difficulty in locating the ledge, Over Il
year ago there was one Of the prettiest
| tunnels upon the claim to be found any
where, but to all appearances 1t was bar
rem of ore. But last summer what proved
|
place and some work was done there. La
| ter on q crosscut was started lower down,
| and the strike Wednesday was the result
| of work here. When Mr.. Hewitt left the
mine nearly three feet of carbonate ore
had been passed through and the second
wall had not been reached, There. was
| some galena in the vein. With depth
the carbonates will disappear. The lednS
appears to run in direct line with the
| Granite. - - i.

was bonded to ID. G. Corbin and since that
time work has been prosecuted under the
management of Mr.. Hewitt.
| The property is located about five miles
from Wallace and the tunnel in which the
strike was made is but a few feet above
the Nine Mile wagon road. Nine Mile is
being dotted with bonanzas.
| FAY TEMPLEToN.
| Since the starting of the mill on the
4 Fay Templeton enough work has been done
to establish the fact that both mine and
mill are financial success. On every pay
day all demands have been promptly met,
besides the payments for large amounts OF
| dead work, and before long the owners can
hope to come in for dividends. From

Julius Lawson, Alex. McCloud and John

about one mile northeast Of Wardner

We now turn to the recently issued French

first three quarters of this year the GUAM

very much below the average, and there.

usual, showing that high prices there have
affected the manufacturing trade in the
