he expects very soon to put a force of
hands at work there. There is a 10-stamp
mill and other mining and milling equip
ments on the Charles. and the work that
has been done there is very gratifying and
encouraging. When properly worked we
expect to see the Charles become one OF
the best gold producers in this section.
