was found that over 800 miners and
millmen are at work. and the number is
being added to daily, says the Gold

men are going to work, and it looks as
though there would be no necessity of

accuracy of the previous estimates, al

ing by steam shovel has proven that our
mining costs should not exceed 25 cents
per ton The Garfield plant is showing
results as above, notwithstanding the
TACT that the ore il is now receiving
and will continue to receive for son1e
