A sixty-stamp MIL.
I is stated that the Kennett company
Madison county, Montana, has decides
put in a 6O-stamp mill and that tn
tract will be let and the work of con
uction undertaken at once. The Ken
t people have directed operations t
,loiting the mine rather than to tn
'duction of ore during the past tw
'rs, and the fact that they have DE-
ed to put in a mill of such extensiv
mpage is proof positive that the ore
erves are ample and the mine all RICH
e public had entertained some apprt
lsion concerning its future since tn
alter portion of its working force wa
of few weeks since. The fact tina
Kennett is to be put into immediat
e with Montana's big gold producer
] be great thing for Madison count,
