Work Progressing Ia Mine Some
Large Bodies of Milling Ore
Being Encountered.

The directors Of the Beaver Harri-
son mine, which Is located I'm Beaver
county, have levied another assessment
Of two cents share and the company
proposes to shortly increase the work.
ing force.
In a statement issued to the stock
holders of the company Manager J. j.
Trenam says
THE Beaver Harrison Is the only
mine IN the camp that has been able 10
run continuously. The trouble the Ma
jestic Mining company has had has ar
fected every mine I'm the county that
did not have cash I'm the treasury to
pay for their future work, and with
the proceeds Of this assessment we will
be able TO not only meet our bills, but
pay our men promptly, and enable the
board to plan its work In such a way
that the best results for the least ex-
penditure OF money can be accom-
pllshed.

week on either one OF these as they
have been installing the new pump
which was purchased some time ago,
and II win take three or four days yet
to have II entirely completed The sta
ton on the 520-fOot level has been en-
larged and both the new pump, which
has a capacity up TO $50 gallons per
minute, and the old pump, which has a
capacity up to 100 gallons per minute,
are placed on the station. Both are
connected with the steam and air pipes
so that both pumps can be run at the
same time with either steam or COM
pressed air. or either pump can be run
separately In the same way. The new
