improvements Under Way.
The company is making number of i'm
provements which will greatly facllltate
the handling of the ores from both the
mine and mill when completed. One OF
edit 164 feet between tunnels No. and 3.
and the cutting of a glory hole" TO
dump the ores from the adit to the lower
tunnel, which, when finished, VIII take
the place of the old upraise. BY the run
ring of this adit it will make possible an
output from the mine of about four times
the amount now being delivered.
President Tulloch says the company has
promised a bonus TO the miners on this
piece of work of IS per cay for each day
The work is completed before July ~, and,
from present indications, the work VIII

Cave Discloses Fine Ore.
The large flow of water which followed
the. course Of streak II qecomposed
rock has caused a cave in the upraise.
but ii was one of those caves that COM
panies like TO See. as it disclosed big
body of high-gra1e ore, the limit of which
has not yet been determined. This new
discovery will add materially to the devel-
opment of another body of ore not known

is giving good satisfaction.
Rock That Is Rich in Gold.
THE Sewer Consolidated ore bodies are
looking better than ever" said Mr.. Tul-
lock, land as soon as all the new i'm
prcvements now under way are completed
we feel justified in claiming the best and
the most successful mine and mill in the
state of Utah, with enough ore now in
sight TO run the plant for al least six or
seven years at a capacity of 100 tons per
Gay, and with such ore as the Sewer Con-
sOliGated has you can readily see what
the future will be-
Mr. Turpin said he was not only agree
ably surprised but was astonished at the
amount and character of development and
improvements since his last visit about
2 year ago. He said for his own salts
faction he took some samples from the
big cropping. One sample went $l4.OS. of
which s12 was gold: another went $f.H. of
which S44 was gold; another went SlOl.SO,
of which SlG0 was gold fourth went
1854 of which S1s4S0 was gold. Mr. Tur-
pin is not a mining expert. and did not
select choice rock Such assays as those
ir any new district in Nevada would
cause a stampede" declared Mr.. Turpin.
