As many OF the REVIEW readers in this
city are familiar with the history OF the
Drum Lnnmon mine in Montana, the fol-
lowing information and figures is given
for their benefit, During 1887, 75 005
tons OF ore were crushed, the gross lir,d
being 81 040,674, while In 1888. SO 745
tons were treated, yielding only Sl,09f,-
598. bowing a decrease of S9i6 076. rhe
total expenditures for 1898 were $685.
PSI 90, decrease ot S943 36i over 1887.
During the past year tie ore treated was
of lover grade, but it cost just as much
TO treat it as though IL were high
grade. The average cost OF mining
and milling per ton for the half year of
1883 was S6 A, "A decrease of $2.7l per
ton. In the sixty.stamp mill, dry crush
ing. the average cost per ton has only been
81 l3. which, Mr.. Bayliss says, renders it
possible TO derive II fair margin of profit
on exceedingly low grade ores. The total
inea development for the year was % 908
feet. There are 2l5, $50 tons OF reserve ore
in sight. Another dividend will be paid
ON April Is of $60000. Altogether the
mine is in Aourishiug condition, and the
amount OF ore in sight is q greater exhibit
than any mine has ever heretofore dis
played
