S. ]. Pollock, the superintendent of the
Herschel. on Lion hill, is pushing de-
velopment work with two shifts ana the
indications at the present time are quite
encouraging. Owing to its near prox-
unity to the Northern Light and Chic

machinery dealers of the city in refer
e-cc TO a hoist for the mine. in connec-
ton with which there is talk of the in

on the creek in the Granite mountains 20
generation of electric power for the ouer-
ation % the hoist. and also for lighting
purposes, the current to be carried by
wire from the power station to the mine
This is a move in the right direction and
= IS more than likely that the other
mines of the camp would. make arrange
ments for the use of any surplus power
while it is well known that the Utah will
be operated in connection with the Ga
lena. 1t is not sure thing. however
that electricity will be the power used in
with the new hoist for the
Gelena. and w. A. Myron viii leave for
Fish Springs today to look the ground
over to determine the size of the plant
and to decide what motive power to use
which must be steam.
