has been closed down for a few weeks
in order that new hosting machinery
may be put in. The shaft Is now down
800 feet aud the old hosting machinery
was not heavy enough to do the work.
The workings will DO started up in a few

section of country, and the SOUTHWEST
SENTINEL bespeaks for him success.
The smelter at Ivanhoe, which was
recently closed down, will be started up
again IN a few days, under more favora-
BILE circumstances. Under the new ar
rangement such changes IN manage
ment and methods have been decided
upon as to render better results proba-
BILE. 1t appears that the principle sourc 9
OF annoyance and trouble was largely due
to the fact that the furnace was not
adapted to smelling purposes. This can
only be successfully remedied by dis
carding it entirely. However, this will
not be done at once, but the furnace
will be lined with fire brick from time to
time until a new furnace. suitable, can
be procured. The last two runs made
we're highly satisfactory, resulting in so
tons OF 65 per cent matte. The new or
ganizatIon is now busy making 0ltera-
tions and repairs and buying ores, and
when the smelter is again blown 10, con-
ditions VIII be more favorable for sue
%cessful operation.
