l35 tons of ore twenty-four hours are
being mined, all OF which is conveyed
to the mill. The two incline shafts
are about go feet apart. The hoist
ing plant is between the two.
This consists OF two hoisting engines,
with a cable running TO 4 sheave
wheel above each shaft. The mine
supplies most of the water used in
mill work and this is carried to the
surface in skip water buckets.
The mill is provided with stamps,
amalgamating plates and concentra-
ting tables. An important saving is
made on the plates. On the tables a

phides. The entire mill tailings pass
to settling watts, where a separation of
the sands from the shines is made.
The sands are subjected to cyanide

There are no plates below the bat

the concentrating tables, which make
an iron sulphuret concentrate worth

The tables In the new mill consist Of
ten Standards; in the old mill are
Wilheys, Frue vanners and Overstrom
tables. The entire discharge from
the tables, exclusive of concentrate
product, passes TO a system OF settling
yats. In these the coarse sands are
settled, the shines overhowing from
the watts and draining into pits. The
sands are cvanided direct by the ordi-

The shines, after being settled as
thoroughly As possible. are drained Of

able degree. They are then conveyed
TO a roaster in which they are desul-
phurized and are then subjected to
cyanide treatment. About 30 to 100
tons OF this material per day are
roasted. The sands. which are

SUpERIORS INTEREST IN

VIII Mean Much to this City.

The fact that on the third Of Nov
ember the citizens of the state OF New
York will vote upon upon q PROPOSE
ton to issue bonds to the extent OF
s101 900, 900 for the Improvement OF
the Erie, Oswego and Champlain ca
nals may have very important effect
upon the future of Superior and the
head of the lakes district.
The purpose of the New York legs-
lature in passing the law calling this
election, is both to widen and deepen
the canal, making it available for
barges drawing at least twelve feet OF
water. 1t will be 200 feet wide, ad-
hitting of an immense amount OF
traffic on the great waterway. The
locks are to be 1913 feet long and a
width OF twenty eight feet.
This will give clear waterway FOR
barges twelve feet deep from the head
of Lake Superior to the Atlantic sea
boare. Just how this will affect the
interests of the head of the lakes
commercially, il In sense problem

by the large grain carriers may be
curtaIled to such an extent that few
more OF them may be built here, while
the demand for the light draft vessels,
such IA can navigate the canal from
Buffalo east cannot help but be very
large and their construction Will be
almost settled. Late reports from
New York give the almost absolute
certainty of the success of the mea-
sure.
The enlargement of the Erie canal
will have other and greater effects up
on the business Of Superior than the
building of new boats at the local
shipyards. 1t will cheaper the rates

The millers in Minneapolis now

But with only Il short rail haul to the
