on It's initial run 3 week ago under the i'm
speosion OF Mr.. William Orr OF the Gold

on the start, and be anticipates no difficult
ties In its operation, other than those in
cident to milling. To-day Mr.. Charles r.
Brant, who has been an attache OF the

Extraction Company, will leave for Cherry
Greek TO take charge OF the mill. The
capacity Of the new plant is 80 tons, and
10 Is equipped with q Blake crusher, two
sets Of Cornish rolls and one set Of Wall
rolls. The machinery was made and in.

The property Of the North Mountain
Company was famous Is years ago as the

several millions in gold by smalgsmstion.
Gradually the free percentage Of gold de-
creased, and while the values remained
practically unchanged, the mill clean.ups
