which is now being connected to a large reservoir on the mountain side above the mine. The engine and pump are now being placed in position and the mine will soon have a adequate water supply The main ledge is from two to four feet in width and carries good values in free gold. It and the parallel leads are shown up by a mum Der of shallow workings and a deep working shaft has been started to de velop the main ledge and later on to develop the parallel lodges by cross cuts. The company owns the ten stamp mill at Harrisburg and later on. when sufficient development has been done will move it to the mine. oil will be used for fuel the storage tanks now being in course of construction at Salome.
