but not sufficiently to warrant ces-

of the United States Exploration com
pany's affairs in this country, quietly
stole into town yesterday, the gentle
man suddenly dropping down from

into mining matters requiring his per-

During yesterday the gentleman
was attending to matters concerning
the Highland Boy, and this morning
he and Mr.. Weir went out to Bing-
ham to look at the new mill now so
nearly completed. The mill has been
erected with dispatch and Mr.. New
house will undoubtedly be well pleased
with the showing made. In all proba-
hlllty the motive power will be applied

this new mill is the improved system
for emptying the tanks. The method
generally employed in the Mercur and
other cyanide camps was to shovel
the tallings out of the tanks. Later
on the Geyser- Marion company
improved on this by arranging
Ing in the bottom of the tanks. Now,
however, President Mckay of the La
Cisale has invented a system by which
n tank containing sixteen tons of tail
lngs can be turned upside down by one
man in less time than it takes to tell
1t, through the medium of gear and
crank, thus emptying the contents at
once into n cOnveyer There are
tWenty-four such tanks in this mill

owners Feeling Encouraged Over the
showing-A MIN Going Up.

As stated in these columns a day or
two ago. the owners of the Washable
mine have every reason to feel en-
couraged over the reports received
from that property since the COM
mencement of operations but recently.
l.. G. Hardy comes back after a visit
to the property with the word that
there seems hardly any reason why
the new company should not he able
to pay dividends in a comparatively
short space of time. He says the
showing is not unlike that at first
found in the Jennie. and believes that
with systematic and careful manage
mem the mine can be made to pay
from the very start.
A mill recently purchased by the
company ia now on the ground, and
its erection will be complete inside Of
sixty days. 1t is a crushing and Jig
ging plant and will be able ia handle
IL tons of ore per day. so that the
company will therefore soon place
itself on the shipping list.
