june 9th. will be of interest to many
OF our readers:
One Of the most important proper
ties in the prolific district Of Free

sFreeland Extension which is cor
irectly named, for it is the absolute
extension Of the famous Freeland, !,
the Extension management having
the right of Il way through all the
sFreeland levels. Not; much has been
heard from the Freeland Extension
people of late but il, was we'll known
to the few that While no attempt was
being made at a large. output; that
much energy was being expended on
development work, and that large
amount of ore was being blocked out.
The mine is we'll equipped and pos
sessses one OF the largest gasoline
hoists in the state. The Extension
shaft is down a distance Of 400 feet
with four levels. Every drift is ii

Hundreds of tons Of milling ore whicf

article with reference to the build
