MINING NOTES.
The big mining suit at Butte goes
YEARLY on.
Owners and managers of quartz mills
have for a long time been divided in
their opinions as TO the proper guide
to use for stamp stones at Sumpter
About four months ago the Red Boy
ordered a full set of solid iron guides
and substituted them for their wooden
guides. 1t was at first feared that they
would cut the stamp stems, and by eb-
rasion and friction soon would ruin
them. They were fabricated with
graphite and tallow mixed and cooled,
and from the first drop of the stamps
they have worked perfectly.

the mining department will be one of
the most prominent and it will be one
