will be granted under the laws of the
state.
The company has secured a lease and
chester claims in Spring gulch, the boud
calling for the payment of S55,ooo before
the expiration of two years. The Frac-
ton mine has a production record Of over
f3oo. 900. nearly all above the fourth
level The main shaft is 7Io feet deep
and altogether there is nearly 5000 feet
Of levels, of which probably about one
third is virgin ground. The first, SIX h

and there is already ample ground
opened with ore in sight so tina, ship.
ments can be started immediately after
the water has been taken out. The haul
ing Of mine supplies and timbe:s vas
started Wednesday, and the machinery
has been overhauled during the pas,
couple OF days, SO that by mex; Monday

Rockford Runs Smoothly.

Preparations are under way at the por
ia OF The Rockford tunnel to install ore
bins in order to have storage room for
the ore being taken .ur in driving on
the Maya ona vein. The entire width #
the VEN, from three to six feet, is a good
grade of milling ore, assaylng from f6
to fI3 per ton. all OF which can be mil!ed
at profit her by amalg ,mation or by
conc. nti alton. Ii is not known which
method Of reduction will result in the
greatest saving, and this Can only be de-
termined by ac'ual milling tests.
Additional coal shets at the power
house are also contemplated, together
with an extension OF the track un the
railroad switch. This will permit OF the
storage of a large quantity Of coal. and
will prevent a shut down or delay caused
BY the uncertain coal deliveries by the
railway companies.
Manager Nye is pushing the work OF
diving the Rockford tunnel with safety
Of the employees as the only considera.
ton. While tie is not attempting to make
any tunnel driving records, he is max
ing excellent progress driving to grad e
and hanging ventllating pipe as near
to the breast as is safe to withstand the
blasting. The actual prosecuting on
the K oxford as contemplated at pre-
sent will be finished within the next
three months or rs soon as the big Don
aldson vein has been reached. 1t is the
intention then to drive la,erals on
each vein intersec,ed by the tunnel
which will reach known ore shoots ly
ing east of the Freeland and Lamartine
m mes. As the Rockford cuts most OF
the lodes 10 the big vein system making
two magnificent mines, the outcome Of
operations when under way is as near
certainty as anything can be in this life.
