has quite large force of men at work at
present and will increase it as soon as
practicable. The big Stetefeldt furnace,
erected few years ago to reduce the
tailings, is to be remodelea. The screw
elevators and conycyors are to be. done
away with and the law of grayitation
substituted in other words the material
to be reduced will run down hill to the
tanks instead OF having to be hoisted two
OF three times. The ore and tailings to
be handled will be roasted in the White

at about one-sixth the cost of the Stedt.
! feldt furnace. The pulp will be loaded
right from the cooling floor into the
tanks. In fact, the whole arrangement
is to be modelled on the most economical
plans possible with the condition and To-
cation of the present machinery. Tests
made show big margin IN the teaching,

cess The tanks will also be arranged
for the Cyanide process. The whole
business is to be conducted so as to get
the maximum results from the minimum
Of labor and costs. In connection with
the plant will be ai0'stamp mill for Gus
tom ores, as Mr. Godbe has already had
application from Monkey Wrench, Pah-
ranagat and other places to reduce ores,
and when things start BullionSille will
resume her old place, and, as her name
implies, produce the stuff that Senators
are made of. Mr.. and Mrs. w. s.

old hotel so that Mr. Godbe can give his
personal attention to the enterprise
May Day coming on Sunday, the good
people CT Panaca concluded to celebrate
Tuesday, the 3rd. Under the supervision
of Mrs. L. d. Watson, arrangements
were made to conduct the affair in old
English style, with the May Queen, the
braiding of the May pole, with Jack j
the green. and his merry 'marsh
dancers" but owing to the inclemency of
the weather the program could not be
fully carried out. At 8 o'clock the school
house was crowded to witness the cere-
mony of the browning of the May
Queen, Miss Annie Ronnow, with her
l maids of honor aroundhe and Jack the
green and his six merry marsh dancers
in attendance. Pleasant and appropriate
were the exercises, and Panaca did her
q self proud. The braiding of the May
X pole had to be omitted on account Of
storm. In the afternoon the little child
: rem, with pretty childish ceremonies,
I crowned their Queen of May, after which
It the little ones danced till 6 clock, an(
is went home tired and happy. Grea
credit is due to all who took part in tn
T exercises of the day, and especially Il
.e Mrs L. D. Watson, who acted as in
s.ructor.
