Is Well Pleased.
Mr.. Tulloch could not express himself
in more satisfactory terms at the dem
onstration which the entire working
plant is making. Not only is the mill
grinding out a steady stream OF bullion,
but the management Is pushing along
a number OF Improvements which Will
greatly increase the output OF the mine
and Will facilitate operations, The
principal feature OF the improvements
IS the opening of an adit between tun-
nels Nos.2 and 3. a distance of 164 feet.
which will be used to convey ore from.
the upper workings to the mill. A
glory hole" is also being cut TO dump
the milling stuff down into the lower
tunnel. The adit has run into a breast
of ore which Will undou ubtedly prove to
be strike of considerable Importance.
Owing to a loose seam OF decomposed
rock, which was cut by the upraise, an
unusual amount OF water has followed
the course of this seam and caused
cave in the upraise. But this has proved
an item of much consequence. for it mas
uncovered a big body Of ore. the same
which is being developed from tunnel
No .. 1t VIII save thousands of dollars
worth OF development work, for It
also shows the dip OF the vein. This
vein is three sets of timbers wide In
the tunnel and the indications are that
1t is no less where II has just been ca
posed 1t has been we'll sampled ana
the average values are Sl4 to the ton,
This exposure adds materially to the
DEVELOPED body OF ore, and II is con-
servatively estimated that the mill Is
good for six years run to It's capacity
with the ore now In sight.
Condenser just Installed.
An air compressor Is making rapid
headway In the development of the
mine, ana condenser just lhStuieu at

in fuel Two DorT separators, which
have proved very successful In the
Black Hills country in separating the

process, have been ordered for the Sc

pected, With these 1t is expected an

Mr.. TurpIn was fuuy as pleased as
