Rood-naturedly, moving away to at

der his care.
Work had been going on for an
hour or more when Miss Merton and
Miss Densmore appeared in the field.
Rossiter spied them coming, and had
a pole ready for them when they
reached their box Both girls recog-
nized him by slight inclination OF
the head, and he replied to their
salutation by removing his cap.
"We've new poll-puller, see"
commented Miss Merton, with GER

everything that was going on. i

At this instant ice Becraft set up
shout of "Hop-pole!" so Rossiter
thanked her. for her kindly wishes
and hurried away.
s'What a polite pole-puller!" ex-
claimed Miss Merton when Rossiter
was out of hearing. "Who is he,

"Aren't pole-pullers usually po

''Yes, he was, but there is differ

"How does your new Pole-puller ge

"oh, beautifully" responded Mis-
Merton. DO you know his name?
"'Rossiter is what he calls him

SNOW CREEK.
PLANS COMPLETED:
Detailed Bids to be Called for at
Once-Style Of Mill In
sures Close Saving.

A. B. Browne, Of the engineering
firm of Browne & Smith, consulting
enigneer for the Snow Creek Mining
company, completed the plans for the
ten-stamp mill soon to be installed
at Snow Creek, last week, and early
this week finished the speci ifications.
Preliminary bids have already been
received and detailed bids will now
be called for. It is thought that the
company will be in a position to
start work on the mill by July l.
Several features Of this plant will
be departures from the usual pattern
Of mills now used in the district. It
will be ten-stamp concentrating
mill using two types Of machines, the
Wilfey and Frue, tandem, thus in
suring close saving of concentrates.
With an exception or so, no other
mill In the district employs a similar
system. Another thing new in the
district Ia the automatic delivery.
The rock breaker sets below the large
storage bins and the ore is conveyed
to 1t by gravity system instead Of
by direct handling as is the common
custom. From the rock breaker II
goes to the mill bins and the stamps
by elevators, thus giving an auto
matte delivery throughout.
Again, the stamps have no connec.
ton whatever with the rest Of the
mill. They are anchored to bed rock
by hog chains, In absolutely indepen-
dent framing, removing the vibration
from the other parts Of the plant.

there has been big increase In the
