Readers of the Era will remember that about six months ago this same company in- stalled the first Hancock jig to be erec- ted in the United States. It took the place of eight other jigs, and is ope- rated with one-fourth the water and at half the expense. They were 80 well pleased with the machine that they concluded to install another ma chine with finer meshes, which is des- tined to do away with the first vanner room. This machine has now been working two weeks and is giving en- tire satisfaction. These two machines are now handling 600 tons of ore per day, but their capacity is far greater than that amount. As Ne Era has befC re stated, these machines promise to revolutioniz the treatment of cop per ores in this section. They require but little room, need no building to speak of do away with the expensive vanners, and best of all, consume but very little water.

 The Gold Road company is install ing a large number of Huntington mills at the big mill in Gold Road. These mills are to be used in recrush- ing and amalgamating after the ore has been passed through the big rolls. Considerable of the ore now carries rather coarse gold, which cannot be taken up by cyanide, but which re- spends readily to amalgamation. These mills will also give the big plant greater crushing capacity, which is found necessary since the 800 level has been blocked out.

A force of men has been steadily de- velopiDg ever since F. A, Bowman took charge of affairs. The mines have been opened by shafts and tun' nels, in all of which good ore is ex' hibited.
