CARLOAD OF 800 GOLD ORE

Royal Gold Mine. Pending the COM
pletion of an upraise to connect NO.
and No 2 tunnels on the inclination OF
the vein, the stamps of the mill We're
hung up a few days ago. The raise
will have vertical height of between
24O to $50 feet The presumption is 1t
will be completed within two months,
or say about April /. High grade gold
ore is found both in No. l and No. 2
tunnels, and it is only fair to assume
that with the completion of the raise
the mine can supply the mill with
! quartz for twelve months to come from
J this source alone. No. | tunnel is the
lowest of the four on the Royal mine,
!, and somewhere i'll the neighborhood
of 100 feet long. Another valuable
feature of the raise will be that 1t Will
f furnish good ventilation and improve
+ the drainage of the three upper levels.
o A noteworthy feature OF the Royal
mine is that while most gold mines
as depth is reached yield baser ores
than near the surface, its quartz Is
4 more free in No. | tunnel-the lowest
= than in No. tunnel--the highest.
