OF improvements both to mill and field
The pumping stations are complet
with the exception OF the drilling G
five wells. In the mill eight Crystalli2

added and cane unloader has been Sc
up. A l550-foot syphOn has been bull
across the AnahulU Gulch and eXten
siye surveys have been made.
Negotiations are new being made 10

stations, steam plOws and locomotives
and it is believed that a great sayin
