 On the Administration mines <: tWenty-stainp mil and eight conce2- trators have just been placed. together with large hoist capable of sinking tc q depth of loco feet. and the plant is operated b. q large compressor.
 These mines have been explored anc the ores blocked out sufficient to jus tifv steady 0nerations from now on.
