of the Imperial Copper Company and
the new smelter at Sasco. The party
were this forenoon taken to the big

the 700 and 500 levels, besides going
down to the 1000 foot level to watch
the installing OF the new pumps that
are now being placed in position. Mr..
Beauman was greatly impressed with
the showing that is being made by the

not been worked out, and that there
is bright future in store for Tomb

badly burned about the lips. His pre-
dicament was discovered by man oc-
