Nullcn lnlllt, on Wnlcn tllls great
mill is being erected, will possibly
not furnish sufficient tonnage the
first year to keep the plant busy "A
hours per day, however, more APP
plications from outside mines TO
handle product have already been
made than even this large PROPOSE
tion can handle. We believe it
is the intention Of President Hcarn
to comply at a fair rate per ton
with the requests Of these outside
producing properties and so far as
possible give them the opportunity
Of marketing their ores in condi-
tion ready for the smelters. This
in itself will do nearly as much to
develop outside properties as cheaper
transportation, as il lessons the
bulk and increases the value of all
ores.
a MINING PLANT of some consid-
cradle magnitude has been erected
upon the Blue d Num- Nine Acre
tract. The building that covers
the rock breaker, cornish rolls and
the battery of jig Il 80 by 40 feet
in size. 4 II by 20 engine house
has been completed and the engine
placed in position. A small black
smith and repair shop Is also under
cover and everything about the
mine looks like business. The
shaft has lccn sunk to 30 feet
depth, disclosing a heavy body Of
zinc and ltad ore. An air shaft
has lecn made from which a drift
will h. run Ia the main shaft, in.
suring an ample supply oi pure air.
The regular levels on the vein will
likely bc run at 100 feet depth and
a hg stopc opened. II IL very
probable that a Wine will H. pu,
down nun uls dris loiwccn the
air and main shaft extending "a
the 100 ioot level, which will dmin
the cntiru work a. the lower level.
where one pump will keep the
water out and the upper ore will
also H. let down this wine and all
hoistcd irum the 100 foot level Ia
the crushcr above.
