The mill will be started up at once
for short time for this purpose and
upon the tests will depend the future
development Of the mine. 1t Ia not
understood that the mill Is to be run
continuously, but merely started up
temporarily to test the ore from the

decided that 1t would be best not ia
try to patch the shaft, but to retimber
II throughout, and also sink It 100
feet deeper before commencing the
extraction Of ore to run through the
mill, as by stopping ore from the
bottom of the drifts which would be
run from the shaft 1t will allow room
to fill the waste rock from the levels
above and In that way the using of
great quantities Of timber will be
avoided az the waste rock will take
the place Of timbers and keep the
walls from caving In.
The sinking of the shaft 100 feet
deeper should open up large quaint.
ties Of ore. several times more than
there Is In sight, actually blocked
out, at present, and thus assure the
continual running Of a mill for a
number Of years upon the ore blocked
out. There can be no doubt about
the finding Of the vein at this pro.
posed depth, as It has been thoroughly
demonstrated by the Checkmste
workings that the ore bodies are
deep seated. and the permsnency or
the continuation Of the veins to
great and unknown depths is assured.
The merits and values of the camp
Of Pearl have been demonstrated to
the entire satisfaction Of all mining
men who have become acquainted
with the camp within the last couple
of years. The veins or ore bodies
have been proven to increase in
width, length and values, aud as far
as the ore is concerned the camp Is
assured Of very bright future and IL
considered safe to mine In.

people than from any other source,

share to put them out Of business.
