Park Record: Ground was broken
Tuesday for the concentrating plant to
be placed by the Daly-West company,
and the grade will soon be ready for
the foundation, as work is being
rushed just as rapidly as possible. The
building will be commenced just as
soon as the foundation is ready, and
at is thought that by the time the
structure is completed the machinery
viii be on the ground and ready to be
set up, notwithstanding the fact that
the company has not yet decided what
make of machinery win be necessary
10 extract and save the highest value
OF the mines tremendous body of low
grade ore. Mr.. DAILY informed a re-
porter for the Record Thursday that
the plant would be constructed at
once, but that no decision had been
reached as to the kind of machinery
that would handle the mines ores to
the best advantage. However, active
Investigations are being conducted and
the question will be solved as soon as
possible. The plant will be equipped
with extra boiler and engine power

duction plant to the concentration at
any time in the future that the man

new mill will be first class in every
particular and will be conveniently
located to the big shaft, the object
being to save the expense of hauling.
The company has closed a contract
with the Anchor company for an am
pie supply of water, though it is pos
Sible that the Ontario, DAILY and DAILY
West may join hands and pipe water
from the lakes on the other side of
the divide.
To Be Worked Again.
Indications point TO a resumption
of work on the Silver Key group of
claims lying above the Apex mine. a
force of men are now busy cleaning
out the tunnel driven into that ground
by Messrs. Macdonald and Gitsch, and
putting it in shape so that a thor
ough examination of the property may
be made If the examination proves
satisfactory, negotiations now pending
FOR a lease and bond on the group will
be closed up and active operations
commenced at once. While up the
canyon Wednesday the writer was in
formed that it is the intention, if the
ground is taken hold of. TO develop it
by means of a long tunnel run in from
the bottom Of the gulch, which. be-
sides developing the vein at a depth,
Will afford an easy method Of hand
ling the water while the value Of the
ground is being proven. Some very
rich ore. in buuches, has been found in
the Silver Key in the past, and it is
thought that depth is all that is
needed to prove that it is just as good
a mine as the Apex or the Crescent
either. The Record hopes to report in
tie near future that the ground is
being worked vigorously.
Cumberland Showing We'll.
Monday of this week, so o. E. Law
renee informs the writer, the ore body
recently cut in the Cumberland group
was opened at new point much
deeper than where first encountered
and it looks even better than the
showing above. Assay returns this
week give the value of the ore as 1920
in gold, 22.S ounces in silver and 1913
per cent lead, which proves it to be
shipping ore. So far, Mr.. Lawrence
says, no attempt has been made at
Stopping and will not be until the mine
has been put in shape for handling ore
cheaply- \ large amount OF preliminary
work will yet have TO be done and pos
sibly road built around the mountain.
