metal is being placed on the dump.
The Homestake, near this place, viii
soon be worked by full force OF inen,
and as 1t has 6ne streak Of ore in sight
it is safe to say it will add greatly to the
mineral output Of this great mineral
basin.

ore is being sent to the sampler TO pay
for all development work, something not
often done in opening up mines on this
coast. Bk&s5 &tf &. FA#RAtaA
The Empire needs no notice from us
as the large lots OF ore being sent in TO
the sampler tells its own story. The
main shaft will soon be sunk one hun
