Hump, Aug. % The first clean
up at the Jumbo mine since the
new mill has been installed has
just been made. A run OF twenty
tons of ore yielded about $500 in
bullion, which was saved on the
plates, whiie.the value of the con.
centrates is about as much more.
This,gives as the average of the ore
run through the mill about $50
ton, and some parts of the mine
will yield still better. The camp
has often been spoken of as a base
ore camp, but this proves, as has
been the result of milling the Big
Buffalo ore, that the values which
are fine and saved on the plates,
are more than sufficient to pay.
The concentrates from the Jumbo
are about one-twentieth of the total
amount OF ore milled.
