Manager J. II. Elmer says that the concentrating
plant is ready for operation and that there are

average in value about 500 ton He adds that
there blocked out the different levels of the
Big Pete mine additional 10 the value OF about
sight, practically ready to be turned into concen-
trates as fast as the mill can handle #, equal
about 25 per cent of the par value Of the capital
stock. The Big Pete vein thus far opened does not
occupy more than one-quarter of the total acreage
owned by the conpany-7T acres Mr.. Elmer
ADDS: The assay values IN the No. l drifS>at the
e5-foot level maintain about the same average as
they produced at the beginning, but IN the No. ;
drift at the 1I5-foot level some extraordinarily
IN this drift from two to eight inches in width
and assay as high as 2.S25 Of silver to the
ton. Still greater values are being shown at the
start Of the No. drift. at the l69-foot level.

A new concentrating table which has Just been
perfected by the Traylor Engineering Company, of
this city attracting attention in mining circles
The great improvement n this table lies in its
diagonal adjustment to the line Of motion. This
permits control of the product and at the same
tine allows the table 10 remain perfectly level.
further valuable feature is the placing of flexible
rubber top the rifle, instead Of the rifle on
the rubber with the result that il is claimed the
table will do more work with larger saving than
any other concentrating device now in use
