CLARA co. TO BUILD BIG MILL

After two days underground at the
Daly-Judge I'm company with j. W.
Young. a prominent English sharehold-
er I'm the company, Colonel Theodore
Bruback returned from camp Friday
night tired out. but more enthusiastic
than ever over conditions underground,
and with the work done in the $500
foot tunnel i'm particular.
You can say for me- said the colo
mel yesterday, that never in my life
have I seen a better job of timbering.
numinE and tracklaying than has been
done through the long avenue leading
into the heart OF the Daly-Judge prop
erty. No stakeholder who could see II
would for moment wonder at the time
that has been consumed in completing
the iob--he would rather marvel that
81 had been so quickly accomplished
Pv Tuesday night at the latest the last
length of rail viii have been laid, and
bv Wednesday operations will begin IN
the mine again.
When the reconstruction of the
tunnel began-and that is what the
work has amounted tot was found
that a good job could not be done with
out retimbering every foot Of IL, re-
constructing the 6ume and laying new
ties eighteen inches apart for the en-
tire distance. In some places. where
the ground was bad. false sets had To
be placed behind the regular sets Of
timbers i'm order that they could he
changed as required in the future with
out interfering with the operation of
the tunnel Every tie has been cut to
a length required to give it a bedding
iu the solid rock at the sides of the
tunnel. which has been built to reg
uIar grade, which averages from the
face to terminal station i'm the mine
about .0S OF per cent. or forty-hve feet
in the $500.
WITT the heavy rails all in place
and the track precisely in the center
OF the tunnel from one end to the other,
trains can be run through II at any
rate of speed with perfect safety, and
there win hardly be a limit to the
amount of tonnage it can handle.
How about the ore to keep if in
operation / guess there are people
who contend that the Daly-Judge mine
contains no ore TO speak Of. But no
sane person VIII ever accuse the man
agement of the property with being
foolish enough TO do the work that has
been done in the tunnel without first
knowing that il was going to be needed.
7 do not intend to describe the ore
bodies I'm the mine. In the first place il
would take too long. In the second
place. within the next few weeks the
viii be made to do their own talking.
and I want TO assure you that ii viii
not be small talk in which they in
dulge either"
AS though to emphasize what he had
Just said. Colonel Bruback produced
some large samples of ore from two OF
The last bodies opened in the mine pre-
vious to the cIose-down. The first
shown came from a large 5tope in the
''back vein on the 1.200-fOOt level,
where miners were breaking several
mine carloads on a shift. As an eVt-
denCe that 3D. was anything but poor
material. the colonel stated that II
carried lbs ounces silver. % per cent
lead. per cent copper and $3.50 i'm
gold DertOn. When work is resumed
that stope is going to be heard from.
He also exhibited samples of galen2
ore which came from chute on the
/ 4OO-foot level that had been driven
through for 100 feet and I'm which work
was progressing at both ends when
the mine closed for repairs. Assays on
that rock gave returns of I1.3 per cent
lead an dthirty- eight ounces silver. At
the lower end of the chute the last
round Of holes fired brought out quartz
showing gray copper and copper py-
rites I'm such quantity as to lead 10 the
conclusion that copper would become
an important factor in the value of the
chute on it's trend 70 the deep.

these features Of the mines develop
meut because they were of rather re-
cent occurrence not because they rep
resented the mines showing of first
class ore, by any means He said the
shipping record would give a better
idea OF what the mine was capable.
That would soon begin 20 materialize
and everybody could afford to wait for
ir. When work is resumed, the trains
through the tunnel viii be handled by
mules, as heretofore, until the new
mine locomotive ordered some time ago
arrives.
