stockholders, for it speaks well for the
condition of the mine. As the grade

AT THE STAR MINE.
Supt. Moffat Believes the Property
Can Pay Dividend In December.

Very. encouraging reports continue to
come in from the Star mine in Pine
canyon, Bingham.
The management of the property has
recently added numerous improve
ments TO the mill and mine. A set of
orushers has been installed at the mill
and a new gasoline hoist has been put
in operation at the mine.
About thirty-five tons of ore is be-
ing mined and milled daily and the
extraction had been reduced almost to
perfection, While the cost of removing
the values from the ore has been
placed to the minimum.
James Moffat the superintendent of
the mine is very enthusiastic over the
outlook for that property and believes
the mine will be in shape TO pay a divi-
dend in December. Other officials are
not so sanguine and seem inclined to
put the date off sixty days later.
