improvements in its works, which are
at the present time the largest gold min
ing works in the world. A new shaft
has been opened and is now being
worked, known as the Ellison shaft
This shaft is on large hill opposite the
stamp mills, and to transport the ore
from the Ellison to the mills an i'm.
mense steel tramway and suspension
bridge is being constructed. This
bridge will be half mile in length and
is suspended over the city of Lead,
which is situated in gulclA
The bridge win be q
magnificent piece of engineering when
completed. The capacity of the stamp
mills for crushing the gold from the ore
is being increased from 500 to 600
stamps. For the purpose of running
these extra stamps large new engine
will be placed in position. Workmen
are now busily engaged in laying the
foundation for this engine. The foun-
dation is 30x50, with depth of 30 feet,
and is constructed of huge rocks placed
upon bottom layer of feet of con-
crete. The estimated cost of the foun-
dation alone is $4,000.
