HE JUNCTION.

Junction is the newest arrival in the ranks of the mining companies of the district. but it's entrance has been sur rounded by the most favorable cir cumstances which has been reflected daily in the quotations of this mining stock on the board and the actual conditions at the mine. Tn connec- ton with the Junction the Review wishes 70 make a correction regard ing statement published in the local columns of this paper regarding the flow of water and the capacity of the jumps to handle it. which appeared in our issue Of Sept 19. Some mis- -aken statements were contained in that article and we take this oppor unity 10 set the reader right
 On September the pumps al the Junction were handling 1175 gallons per minute Two weeks later. with the additional work done in the drifts during this time the flow diminished 70 S30 gallons per minute which to- day. is about the average flow. Over ~ the C. & P. on the same date. the pumps were throwing 233S gallons per minute. Instead of the devel0pmen, work al present being carried on in he drifts. increasing the flow Of Wa Ter in the Junction the contrary ls he fact The pumping equipment cf the Junction consists of 9 one-thou- sand gallon unit station pumps. TO- aefher with four sinkers on the 1000 evel with a registered capacity of 6"U gallons per minute each but which in case of necessity could be forced to throw one third more. At present two of the sinkers are in operation. and of the station pumps only one IS in use to handle the present flow. h fact the water situation at the Junction has asumed an encouraging outlook.
 The work at the Junction for the Iast fortnight has consisted in run ning drifts both on the nine hundred an one thousand.
 Al the nine hundred a drift was run cut fifty feet in a nOrtherly direction from the shaft This drift was in ere all the way and has since been turned in a southerly direction from the shaft with the same ore condi- tions prevailing. assays ranging. 24 25 and 26 per cent. The conditions in the west drift are not so favorable. The object of this work is to ex- IloTe the surrounding formation with a circular drift having a diameter of 100 feet all around the shaft in an effort to determine the trend of the ore body which was encountered in the shaft between the eight hundred and nine hundred for a distance of fifty feet. The formation is very broken and the deve' opment in the
