ia ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
IN PRODUCTION SOON.

The week just closed has been
most notable for distribution of the
largest pay roll in the history of the
camp. the total amount reaching
around $175, 900, of which over
500. 900 was paid at Smeter Start
ing of the fourth section at the con-
eentrator was another important feat

At the mines there was compare
lively little change from the preeed-
ing week. save for the excellent re-
suits attending prospecting work with
the keystone drills at Copper Flat.
where the number hole stopped in
ore. with 30 feet above the bottom
this depth of ore being the greatest
ever secured in a Keystone hole in
the camp. Important also was the
striking of ore in the No. 4 hole at
the shallow depth of So feet.
Production from the ore pit at
Copper Flat by the steam shovels

which will find the Flat in readiness
for bad weather. II is not antiei-
pated that any cessation of operations
will be necessary nor that output will
be interfered with TO any material
degree
Probably during the week the out
put from both Copper Flat and Vet
eran will be increased, by reason of
larger demand from Smelter. where
the fourth section will get In perma-
nent operation on ore in the next few
DAYS. II will require shipment from
the mines of around 500 tons more
a day. a small amount in COMPARE

ily increase TO.
At Smelter the production has held
around 30 tons of copper a day. It
is expected that the present week Will
see things in shape that will allow of
materially increasing this output

station on the 200 is cut. The mine
is looking exceedingly well on the

being worked Ia at several points.
Boston Ely is expected TO shortly re-

ment during the week. the drifting
which has been done in the last few
months having given much ground
for expectation that with further
sinking large body of commercial
ore will be encountered. At the
Coppermines very satisfactory re-
suits are reported attending the work
which Is under way.
