RHYOLITE, New, July H.-Montgom-
cry Shoshone is making no effort at ex-
traction of ore for the market, confining
every energy to the blocking out of it's
vast reserves against the day when the
big reduction works under construction
may be able to handle the enormous out
put in sight Even under such conditions,
however, the high grade which gets in
the way of the blockers-out accumulates
so rapidly that there are not available
sufficient number of cars to carry it
to the smelters
Mayfower, which promises to become
the peer of the greatest producers in the
west has upon the 300-foot level 120-
foot drift that is all in ore of rich ship
ping quality. The formation has consist
emily improved with every additional foot
of depth and the management expects big
bodies of smelter feed on the 400 leved, to
which another 100 feet will carry the
main shaft. The newly proYided 125
horsepower engine and the twelve-drill
compressor are working the drills being
used on the 30O-foot level.
