as we'll as a few personals. First in
mind is a new strike in the Last
Chance mine which lies at present in
wonderland, yet it belches forth from
a hole. blasted in the bottom of a
shaft, water as black as ink and par
ticles of lead and jack which naturally
indicate greater masses of ore to the
already paying property. Although
there are now good engines and pump
ing machinery at work the mine own

heavier machinery In order to cope
with the heavy flow of water, which
they will Immediately do.
Preparations for the most extensive
work in this district are almost con-
summated at the Hazel Green Mining
Co.'s groupe of mines. The large mill
is almost completed. There are three
81 and one % horse power engines be-
ing installed, two of which will furn-
ish electrical power for hosting, drill
ing, lighting, running cars to and from
the mill, ETC., while the other two will
run the mill. There are five fine lodes
in this groupe, each bearing large
quantity of ore.
Drilling for the pitch on the Jetfer
son mine has proved very successful, to
