 The additional stamps will be added to the mill as soon as n new working shaft, 5h feet by 9 feet in the clear, which is now down to depth of 200 feet, reaches the 300 foot level. where it will tap the old underground work. ings.
 A pipe line from Crown King to the camp has been built, through which oil used for fuel is pumped. and hume rous other improvements commensurate with mining camp of such prctcn. sions. have been made, involving the expenditure of large sums.
 The holdings of the company embrace n series of parallel veins, the princi. pal development being confined to tho Grey Eagle ledge. covered by four claims, where depth of 1900 feet has been attained.
 The vein is opened by eight tunnels 'hc faces of all being almost perpen dicular, the lowest reaching l,56; feet into the mountain along the vein In tho other lower tunnel. about 70( feet from its mouth, there is n double compartment shaft sunk on the vein t' depth of 32o feet, from which two levels have been run at depth of lO' and 300 feet. The upper levels in thii shaft conss, of over 900 feet of drifts while the vein from the lower station | opened each way by about 700 feet o lateral work. Al the 300 foot lcvc the vein is l05 feet in width bctwcci walls with ore bodies on each ranging II ,bickrcss from foot to l3 feet, ear rving average values of about S2O '' the ton.
 Ike Ora Bella ledge IS covered h' three claims. This ground was work cd by the Ora Bella Mining com pany many years ago, the compan. finally abandoning operations tber
 when the sulphide zone Of ores wa reached. for the reason that nothin
 less than s200 concentrates could D
 produced at profit on account or 'h
 great distance from railroads an
 smelters at that time. The vein show ' from one to five feet of ore averagin
 in value about s20 to the ton, and th
 company is now commencing to eN s plorc ground on an extensive scale. { Two claims on the Central ledge ar !. not SO extensively developed as tn s Grey Eagle and Ora Bella, i's pa n streak being much smaller, but g'V'h s returns ranging from $40 to s'o o the ton. The Central vein is ahou :. 800 feet west of the Ora Bella ledge. ], A small amount of work done on 'h 0 Ash Spring vein, which IS covered D
