Another big mill was added to
the mine already operating in the
camp this week, when the Nebraska
Mining and Development Compa.
ny, of Omaha. Neb., accepted its
splendid one hundred and lifty-ton
modern concentrating plant from
the United Iron Works Company,
of Springfield, Mo. The mill was
erected under contract by which
the United Iron Works Company
was to run the mill until tested sat
isfactorily to the mining company.
This was done, and the mill &C.
cepted 10y the company's manager,
Mr.. J. ". Watson, who found that
the mill worked satisfactorily in
every respect and is cleaning the
lead and silicate in satisfactory
manner.

Mr.. Watson, who took hold with
that faith he has in him TO back his

and push the property to one OF the
foremost and most successful
mines in the entire district. Start

men would have shrunk from, this
man, big, broad and well balanced,
full of fire, energy and confidence,
cleared away the trappings used by
the previous failures, installed ma
chinery of ample size and efficiency

added as the needs of the mine re-
quired, until he had seven hand
jigs going at full blast. This
method having developed the mine
to such an extent that it required
greater capacity and more econom-
ical handling, this fine mill was de-
cided upon and built. Now the sue
