been completed. There are four shafts down from 2S5 to $50 feet. An 500 foot tunnel is being run into the side of the mountain which will cross cut the vein at the 300 foot level
 From the mouth of this tunnel Is be- ing built an aerial tram operated by the gravity system, to the railroad for the transportation of ore. It will have a capacity for 1000 tons per day but is being equipped with only buckets enough for 200 tons per day. This tram will reduce the cost of transporting the ore to a nominal sum. There is suffi- cient water to work the mine success fully. The outcroppings have been found to extend for distance of 22.O00 feet. The vein says MT. Lander widens as the depth is greater. from 14 to nearly 100 feet in places. He is very enthusiastic over the outlook and per diets for the camp a great future. A townsite is now being laid out. The property is practically controlled by four parties. The machinery which will be added to the equipment of the mine will comprise a 15O horsepower boiler, dynamoes and other parts for an auxiliary plant
