 largest camps in the territory on
 wage scale.
 At present, from indications, it is expected to strike an ore body of
 magnitude at the contact on the SO0-foot level, and work will be
 pushed rapidly to that depth.
 Returning to the surface, En- gineer Woodwork explained the miracles and operation of the sur
 face plant at length.
 For the benefit of our readers
 who have not yet visited the camp we will give a thorough description
 that they may know just what sort of plant has been installed. It
 might be as we'll to say that this is, also, the orly company which has so far introduced machine drills in
 this section of the territory.
 The main hoisting or gallows frame
 consists of four 12x12 main posts,
 braced and capped, and occupying a 15 foot square with heavy 1Ox12
 back braces. The frame is 35 feet
 high to the top of the 6 foot sheave.
 In the front portion of the frame is
 placed the ore bins into which the
 mine bucket or skip dumps. The
 whole frame is tie bolted together
 The hoist and compressor build
 ing is 1Sx35, with a 12 foot eve.
 The building is divided into the
 hoisting room and the compressor
 room proper. In the hoisting room in operation is 1Ox14 Fairbanks
 Morse geared hoist, with a power ful friction clutch and brake band, heavily -bedded in its foundation with some 12O tons of gypsum and fine lime. holding down the main cribbing of timbers, through which the anchor bolts run, tying the hoist to the whole mass.

 The hoist runs absolutely shoosn
 and has a large excess capac''S over it's present duty, as later oh' '. when the ore bodies are suthcleh',s t oneped, a 2a-ton skip load may 1e e hoisted as readily as the preseh s bucket capacity. The hoist room on g is we'll lighted by two large win d dows, and a railing and raise s ir alatform isolates the engineer fro' to pnv visitor or employe.
