the capitalization of 100000, will
give US possession Of the Giant for six

News has been received from Sum
NIT camp that a large body Of ore has
been encountered in an S0-foot drift
running from the 22O-foot level to the
Orc Denero. This drift will be eontin-
ued with the expectation of striking
three lodges that have been opened on
the surface. An aerial tram Is to be
built from the Gold Bug to the Canad-

been adjusted, for work has been re
sumed at the mine.

at work and is producing enough ore
to keep its ten-stamp mill running con.
