Mr. Graves says of the railroad spur
which is built to the Knob Hill. pass
ing over the ground of the Victoria and
Old Ironsides, both owned by his COM
pany. This necessitated a cut around
the brow of the knoll and it ran 700
feet in solid ore, bending in crescent
shape around the hill, with 500 feet
in straight line between the points
of the curve where the ore was entered
and where the cut left the ore. This
cut varies from two to fifteen feet
depth and nothing shows in 1t but ore.
I'm spite of many delays and draw
backs" Mr.. Graves said, I'VE are still
quite confident that we shall begin
smelling ore at Grand Forks the last
of February. About third of our
machinery is on hand. The railway
people have been hampered by lack of
rolling stock. which has delayed de-
livery of the machinery. The spur to
Phoenix camp is not completed. but
will be done about January l. Two
spurs are being built to accommodate
the Old Ironsides and Victoria and the
other to the Knob Hill"
