upon the threshold Of another shipping
season and at this time review OF
the work that is being done towards
making this the banner shipping sea
son for the Crystal Falls district may
not be amiss
THE DUNN
This property is shipping ore and II
Is expected that an output Of twice
that Of last year will be had from that
mine. During the winter new level
has been opened mp and there Is plenty
of ore in sight to keep the skip going
at a good rate. There is stock pile
Of about 40, 600 tons accumulated dur
ing the winter.
The Dunn mine is looking good
and bids fair TO be larger property
than was ever dreamed Of
THE ToBIN
This property is fully as well equip
ped TO ship ore this season as last and
ought TO duplicate It's output.
The ore reserves are fully as great as
ever, taking the property ~ whole
The Genessee end OF the property has
not been as large on the last level as IL
mas Teen at former points in it's de.
velopment but the new level that Is
being added gives evidence OF its open
ing out again in that portion Of the
mine.
The stockpile is not quite rs large
this year as IL was last.
THE KIMBALL
This property is showing up well
and is meeting the expectations OF the
operators The new lift that was add
ed during the winter has shown the
ore body 20 be larger than on the level
above and the ore is better The pro-
perty has every indication Of being a
big thing In time.
Quite stockpile has accumulated
from the development work carried on
during the winter. just when ship.
ping will commence from this property
is not known. No move is being made
oy either railroad TO build the neces-
sary spur 20 give the mine an outlet.
The st. Paul has over mile of track
20 build and the North Western fully a
half mile aud, allowing OF the greatest
dispatch being made with these ex.
tension. II will be well along.into the
summer before the tracks can reach the
mine.
THE BRISTOL
There Is no new condition 10 report
from this property The same hustle
10 get out ore that has been In evidence
at this mine for several years is again
seen and the Bristol ought to make
fully as large shipment next year as
last. Considerable stripping was done
during the winter exposing much OF
the Manganate of both grades for slic-
ing down.
The physical condition of the Bristol
Is, II anything. better than ever and II
looks as II the property will improve
more yet.with depth.
Originally the lens seemed 70 pitch
towards the big bluff 10 the south but
later lifts have shown that the expect
cd roll has been taken 10 the north
away from the bluff and towards the
Hat. Only the end Of the mine next
the Youngstown is being developed at
the present time as the operators are
TOO busy producing ore 10 do any ex-
ploratory work In the west end of the
property where thef i big territory
and rich formation but nothing re-
gular has ever been shown mp In that
part OF the mine. Bunches Of ore have
been met with only 10 cut out ON the
next lift.
IL is probable that when the demand
slackens this portion of the mine will
be given n thorough test.
THE LAMONT
Things are looking up at this pro-
perty and the operators are hoping
against hope that deeper work may
show up more ore In quantity sufficient
10 allow Of It's being mined at profit.
AS stated before in these columns,
the Lamont lens has been narrowing
until there was but a fair sized stope
left Of the once fair sized deposit The
sinking OF the main shaft was suspend
ed as there was not ore enough In the
bottom TO warrant the expense. A
transfer shaft was sunk IN the ore and
this now rests AZ depth OF about ! 900
feet from surface. Some time ago the
character of the ore changed and now
the lense is widening some. enough 10
give hope OF better days.
