Being Drifted On.
Tn It's weekly review of operations by
the Majestic company, Fridays Milford
Times says:
Operations We're resumed by the Ma
jestic smelter yesterday and it is now be-
heved that there viii be no further trou-
bic. A new cable has been provided for
the operation of the elevator machinery,
and small engine has also been In
stalled to operate the elevators, which
VIII be held in reserve. so there can be
no possible recurrence of the trouble that
caused the shutdown.
Considerable ore has been brought
down from the O X. but the shipments
have been reduced because every avail
able foot of space at the smelter is now
filled and II is impossible to unload more
ore until the furnace eats up portion
Of the stock now on hand.
Those people who had supposed that
all Of the high grade ore had been taken
out of the O X were greatly mistaken.
During the week a drift that was driven
from the cave has opened uD q body Of
red oxide that would cause a sensation
in any other mine. The drift is follow
ing two feet Of this ore that will avera &c
20 TO p per cent copper. but. of course,
the fun extent Of the ore body is un-
known. For this reason Manager Kin
non does not regard it as an important
strike. as he confines his calculations TO
ore body may grow larger. il may also
shrink A number Of other fine pockets
and chUtes Of high grade ore have been
opened IN this portion of the mine. and
there is no telling what may yet be en-
COuntered."
