The appearance on the 200 foot
level IN the richer localities of the
vein Is such as to have called for the
term "Jewel Box in one particular
place. On the 3OO-foot level, the
showings are not only duplicated,
but increased, and at still lower ex-
plOrations further improvement Is
apparent. Here a dampness is visible,
indicating the approach of water,
and that the large bodies viii become
richer IN their contents.
! The general geology or formation
surrounding the different groups of
mines is the same; feldspathic gran
lite, porphyry and blue limestone,
which are cut by numerous assures
and igneous dykes The character of
the ores generally is of such a ma
ture as to be conducive to economic
and rapid reduction.
The first heavy shipment from the
10. K, consisting of ten cars, was
made in August, 1901, and contained
an aggregate of 25S tons. The phe-
nomenal values disclosed not only
gave material encouragement TO Mr..
Lewis, but resuscitated interest IN the
entire region from which the ores
were taken. Early in the present
year, thirteen-car shipment was
made, with the former values fully
sustained. The last consignment was
shipped TO eastern smelters for re-
duction- Since that time, with capt
tai at hand. further shipments have
been unnecessary, as under present
conditions profits are smaller than

From the smelter site, railroads

holdings Of the company, over grades
which are not at all difficult. At this
place there viii also be erected one
or the largest concentration plants IN
the entire country.
As result of these improvements
and investments. the hopes of hose
who have been interested in and about
Milford, who have held to the belief
that the town was destined to become
a great railroad and commercial cen
ter, are about to be realized.
The result of Mr.. Lewis expert

In early days were active and remun-
erative, were for a long time dor

improved conditions and resuming
their old prestige.
The story of Mr.. Lewis achieve

earlier experiences, however, were
fraught with acknowledgements, and
frequently obstacles which seemed
insurmountable for time would
block his way to success. 1t was IN
