The LIBERAL made a trip out to the
Bonney property Friday, and was sur
prised at the amount OF work that has
been accomplished there. The new
double compartment working shaft is
being pushed down at a good rate
through the country rock, and will be
a permanent thing, that will not be
interfered with by the miners who
want the ore next to the shaft. 1t is so
situated that short tunnels will con-
meet it with two large ore bodies. The
shaft is perpendicular and will be Gt-
ted with a cage, which will carry up
the ore cars. The hoist now in use is
a temporary steam hoist that will be

all on the ground, and a machinery ex.
