The Moulton now has reached a depth
of % feet on the three compartment
shaft and is still sinking. The excava-
ton is now in progress for the location
of their new power house which will con
tain a new engine, hoist and air com
prcssors. and after its erection the drills
will run by power. The company now
employs thirty-tive men IN the works.
The extract taken from the Great Falls
TRIBUNE relating to Our camp and pub
lished on the first page OF this issue, is
fairly representative of u camp. 1t
might be said in favor of the production
that it is not a paid ad. and doesn't con
tain a paid advertisement, but that 1t is
written to state the facilities and re-
sources of Neihart, without aiming to
convey a 1 rejudicial opinion.
The Ingersoll Co. fired up their engine
yesterday for the first time. The boiler
is a forty horse power, the largest one
ever brought into camp. Before a week
has passed the air compressor and power
drill will probably be running and the
Ingersoll will then be worked by a sys-
tenn never before used in camp. 1t is
the intention of the company to cross
cut to the Moulton lead and the success
of this move will yield great wealth to
the company.

: arrived at the camp and will take charg
at once. He is an experienced MINING
expert in that class of mines and has

It work will be pushed with great rapidity
h Indications are that a great lead will b

= lead is seven feet wide in paying ore, an
n some of the ore carries 10 ounces. Thi
q is one of the great ore bodies in the stat
B. and when further developed the min
will run its own concentration and redut
ton works. The Queen is no prospec

@ working in the future. Every fifty fee
of the main tunnel has an upraise and
two compartment chute to make tn
stops easy to work. Mr.. c. l.. Parker
