The Florence Goldfeld Red King
Claim Leasing company has had the
same experience in the last few weeks
with it's new air drill outfit, as has
been had in other mining districts. The
three hand drills used in sinking up to
the present time. have not proven salts
factory. though for running drifts or
crosscuts they are excellent. The rea-
son is, tha the dirt in the drilling holes
passes through to the inner tube Of the
drilling steel, and as there is always
some water at the bottom of the shaft
this mass cements together and stocks,
On the other hand, in drifting 1t is very
handy to direct those little han drills
to each corner where special prospect
ing is desired to be DONE. Owing to
this fact, the company has increased
it's air drill outfit by two 1ngersoll-Sar-
gent standing drills. and the company
hopes to make the same record obtained
in drifting, namely, 9 feet per day now
also in sinking.

and who take a deep interest in the fur
