AT STORM KING
Force to be Increased to Get
Water Out Of Way and
Development Continued.

T. j. Costello, president Of the
Forest Mining company, which is
operating the Storm King group in
the Cable Cove district, left today
for the property to make arrangements
for increasing his force Of men to
take care Of the water in the shaft
which Is now giving some trouble.
Tho company is now sinking on
the Eureka claim. BY increasing
the force President Costello thinks
the water can be kept out of the
way until the shaft can be sunk deep
enough to give assurance Of good
ore body. When this is accomplished
the company will start in l,4OO
feet from the shaft on the southeast
end Of the property and drift on
the ledge.
The Storm King group includes
seven full claims In the Cable Cove
district, which the present state of
indicates will prove q
fine property. The shaft Is being
sunk on the saddle between w inchester
and Sloan mountains. From this
point the ledge pitches under Win
mountain indicating that
extensive ore bodies exist.
A large force will he put on this
summer and several Of the other
claims will be opened up. Assays
show good ore, some Of them going
Rs high as 900 to the ton.
