on the Sandstone and is now running
with entire satisfaction. 1t consists OF
2S-horse power engine, hoist attach
ment and lifts, a self-dumping skip,
classifying the ore as it falls over 10
foot grizzley into the bin.
Speaking of the plant and the future
operations Mr.. LOTUS says: "We have
installed the plant at cost OF $4,000 for
the purpose of reaching the deepest pos
sible point during the life OF our lease.
We are satisfied that the wonderful sur
face enrichment of this ground extends
to great depths and we are going after
it in the most practical manner. The
working incline is going down double
shift 3 feet a day. Its present depth is
80 feet, Weexpect to reach 800. There
will be only three levels and these will
be crowded with men as fast as they can
be opened. The first level shows IA feet
of ore in the main ledge. The drifts are
not vet out under the rich cross ledge.
If the ore continues to the lower depths,
even as it now appears in the first level,
we shall lift 10000 tons of ore to the sur
face before September 1st
"While my immediate concern is, of
course, the successful operation of this
lease, it is not small part OF my am
bition, when | have done with it, to
turn over to the company well equip
ped mine of great value. That we ear
do this am confident, and we are bac>.
ing that confidence with our money"

A deal of no little importance was con-
summated this week when Henry An
chester, who has been here for some
time with his engineer, investigating the
district, purchased at figure approx
mately estimated at $4,000, the Lucky

sOciates of Milwaukee, and active work,

W f. Wayne, who is expected here
