termine the rate per cent. to be levied on

it is now in better condition than ever be-
fore. The treasurer's report showed that

Thursday of this week the
mine commenced shipping second-class ore
to the Union concentration. A contract has
been entered into between Mr.. w. w. Dow
and the Anchor company, in which Mr.. Dow
is to bore an eight-inch hole from the bot
tom of the shaft to the tunnel, to let out the
800 feet of water that floods the mine. Mr..
Dow has had twenty-five years experience
in well boring and is provided with regu-
lar oil well boring machine. This is now
at the mine, and will be put in position
ready for work during the coming week.
Mr.. Dow expects to have the hole bored
in from thirty to forty days. The distance
from the bottom of the shaft to the tunnel
is 600 feet, and no trouble is expected as in
the first unsuccessful attempt, for the ma
chlnery is better adapted for the work and
more experience is at the head of it. Now
that connection between the shaft and the
tunnel is assured, cross cutting has been
and Superintendent Curtis has
commenced drifting on two different veins.
The Anchor will soon be in a condition to
become an active producer, and no one
doubts that before spring the Anchor
will place itself beside the Ontario and
