mill OF our own. The 5re mined can be
riiled on the property for 81 per ton. al
We have natural mill site on the bor-
der OF small lake below the eleva ton of
the shaft. We will build a tramway
which Will land the ore at the mill at a
very small cost.
In addition to the vein we have a
very large body of ore which will not

can be very profltably mined You know

progress which we have made we have
every reason to feel very elated over the
mine.
Another point which is worthy of note
is that So per cent of the gold is retained

amount Is free milling. and only ga per
cent or the gold comes out of the con-

percentage Of FREQ milling ore found In
the district. Stamp mills car be put "a

about three tons in twenty-four hours.
You can see from this with the high

take long for the mill to pay for itself.
