bids submitted for The sinking of the 100
foot shaft on the William lode, on the
Penubscot belt, seven miles west Of this
city, have been rejected by the COM
pany, and that no further bids will be
called for, the company having decided
to have the work performed by men
employed for the purpose. 1t is ex-
pected hat work will be commenced in
a few days.
Test runs are being made Of the ores
OF the Bismarck and Big Hit lodcs at
the custom mill in the Keystone district.
Both of these properties are regarded as
being very valuable. and have been
fairly developed by deep working.

of the tests proving satisfactory, which
is deemed certain, the deal will be con-
summated, and the reduction Of the ores
will be continued indefinitely.
