The Homestake King mill at Rhyolite

the building is being constructed. The
mill will be a combination of amalga-

there has been an extraction Of LOO

Notwithstanding that the progress of
work was badly handicapped by the
shut down for the holidays and a slight
mishap to the shaft, which interfered
with the hosting for a short time, n
total of 1861 feet of new ground was
broken during the past week. Import
ant development work is being carried
on in several parts of this company's
vast acreage. The veins encountered in
the southern portion of their ground are
being prospected and opened up and are
yielding a good tonnage of ore. Now
that connection with the Rescue work

eulation of air has been obtained, aid
ing materially in the progress of the
work.

Our shaft is now down to a depth Of 100 feet,
and prosecuting will commence Immediately. When
we get into the ore we will need a hoist, for we pro-
pose to use every hour Of the life of this lease to the
best advantage. We want to have that hoist up and
running when we strike the ore, and for that reason we
offer to sell $4,000 shares Of the treasury stock, the first
offering and, we believe, the last that will be made, at
10 cents per share.
Leasers have paid the big profits in Gold6eld--they
will pay the big profits in Homsilver. Now is the
accepted time.

application from Lester Laird, an experienced leasef, tor
a suitcase on a block Of ground 100 feet square. The
applicant did a little digging in a prospect shaft IN which
the syndicate had opened up five inches OF good ore.
The result was ore that carries several hundred ounces
Of silver to the ton.
The application was refused because within thirty

encouraging. for experience shows
that we always have one or two, ii
