Deadwood, S. D., Oct. ia. M. Stew
enson president of the Hidden Fortune
Gold Mining company. says the new Hid
later than Oct. 20.
The company has a contract with the
Colorado Iron Works company by which
the latter is bound to place the mill ON a
satisfactory working basis before turning
it over This contract is said to be almost
one sided in favoring the Hidden Fortune
company. The Colorado Iron Works has
by the instrument committed itself to the
task of providing satisfactory means of
treating the Hidden Fortune company's
ores and agrees to have the mill complete
thruout and to have in operation pro-
cesses by which the gold values may be
extracted to the satisfaction Of the Hid
den Fortune management. :
There have been no chickering's and the
construction company has at all times
announced itself willing to present the
Hidden Fortune company with a mill
guaranteed to make the maximum extrac-
ton of gold values in consideration Of the
contract prices. Work is being steadily
pushed at the Hidden Fortune cUnpany's
mine in several places. Preparations are
being made for working under cover dur
ing the stormy months Of winter, by run
ming tunnels along the ore bodies where
they appear far enough below the sur
face to make a cover possible. A sys-
tenn of railroad spurs has been extended
over the property by the Burlington COM
pany, penetrating to all the principal
workings. In this manner the company
will be in position to supply Its mill
promptly with it's most workable ore. =,
