To OUR STOCKHOLDERS
Our President visited our property on the 2nd
instant, spending number Of days, and the
following is taken from his report TO the Di-
rectors held in olean, N. Y, on the 18th. to-
gether with one received from Mr.. Dunham
under date of the 7th. AS there would be
very much of repetition, II we gave them both
in null, we have omitted those items in one or
the other which would repeat themselves, and
herewith give you the items of interest 10 you
In both reports:
"The mill is ready to run, with the exception
of a small amount OF work yet TO be done by
the Salt Lake Hardware Company, which Mr..
Weller is now doing This does not, however,
in any way interfere with the working Of ore,
as at present it has been found unnecessary to
use any part OF the crushing plant, except
the gyratory crusher which is now in operation.
The ore now being worked has neither free
gold nor concentrates, and as it yields readily
TO the cyanide treatment, without fine crush
ing, most of it ie run directly from the mines to
the tanks, the larger pieces only, being run
through the crusher. We find by treating the
ore in this manner that there are no shines
consequently we do not need the slime depart
ment, as yet
There has not been sufficient ore leaehed to
make a cleanup of the filter presses, but from
the assays made daily, 1t is evident that an
extraction of rs to so per cent sbeiug made;
this is considered an excellent showing on this
ore, considering the time the mill has been IN
operation, only six tanks of ore having been
lesehed, with three more now filled and In
process of teaching. II has been found that
four days is all the time required to secure the
ner centum of extraction noted, and that
longer time does not bring down further val.
nes The ore going through the tanks at pres
en- is not up to the average OF the mine, but
IL seems certain, from now on. about an aver
age Of the main body will be run. The assays
of the ore put into the tanks, up to and in
cluding July 2nd, indicate that 1t has value
of about sS.oe per ton.
We are treating from 10 to so tons per day.
while the mill is ready TO handle 100 tons per
ay, and in few days more we can handle
from l2s to 100 tons per day; butas we could
not dispose OF the ore in the niue until the
mill started, it was impossible for the mine
! foreman TO do the necessary work to get the
mine in shape to deliver as much ore as the
mill could handle Mr.. Butler however, says
thai IL will now be only very short time be-
fore he will be able to furnish all the ore the
mill can handle.
As to the amonnt OF ore in the mine, now in
sight, Mr., Butler the mine foreman, thinks
that there is sufficient TO run the mill up TO its
capacity for long time.
The mine assays taken daily indicate that
the ore is not OF as high value as stated in the
| former report made for the originators OF this
Company. The mine foreman, VINO n,n,saa,i mas sam
