The Honduras MIN.
The mortar from the Golden Winnie
mill. which barne.i two years ago, Was
taken 10 the Honduras mill nj the head
OF Pony guleh, near Delta, Idaho, last
week They claim that they viii be drop
ping stamps ia the new mill within a
week Ii has been years since amy min
ing has been done on Pony guleh, al
though there are some very good prUs-
pects there. The Honduras will be the
first stamp mill in there, although the
Fay TeInPleton put up and worked q
cannon ball mill some years ago. Like
other mills OF the kind put up In the
Occur dAlenes, it proved failure, the
quartz being too hard to be crushed BY
that method rapidly enough TO make ii
pay. The Buckeye, near Murray, still
has one Of the cannon ball mills, and
when it has very rich quartz it rOasti
( il and the cannon balls will crush it, bR
handling ordinary rock is out al th'
question. The Honduras mill viii b
driven by water power.
