A. c. Hose and Harry Teller on
~. or foT
the Alma Mining company on the
Primrose The contract as originally
let called for sinking the shaft 100
feet, which would have made total
depth of $50 feet from the surface.
The owners of khe ground, however,
decided to stop the work at 200 feet.
The Primrose is a very promising
piece of property.
While at work on the 800 level in the
Undine Sunday an increased flow of
water was encountered which was of
sufficient volume to force the men to !
abandon the crosscut which was being |
run to tap the 10 DAILY vein. At the !
point where work was stopped the |
face of the drift is heavily mineralized |
and Manager Wilson is of the opinion
that they are within five or six feet of
the vein. A station will be cut at the /
200 level and drifting commenced at
that point until a pumping plant can
be put in to handle the water on the
lower level.
A. C. Hose has succeeded in obtain
ing an option on the Molly Bawn and

lay to perfect the incorporation, and
he articles will be filed and work COM
nenced early next week. The capital

vill be set aside as a working capital,
,ne-third will go to the present owners

eel warranted in saying that it is sure
