Pushing Erection Of The
Company's New
Mill
From saturday. Daily


In the initial run Of the new air
compressor and drills in the Redman
mine, in the Big bug district, the re-.
markable record Of drilling nine holes,
averaging in depth -four and naif
feet, was made without a single stop,
This was reported here yesterday from
the Redman Mining, Milling and
Smelling company's camp by telephone
by J. Derry, the company's supcrin.
tendent.
The new compressor and drills work.
ed perfectly during the test run, every
thing indicating that the machinery
was first class and it's installation sub
stantial. Work will now be pushed on
the 100 foot and 200 foot levels. Tho
drifts will be continued ahead each
way on the vein, which has an cxccp.
tionslly good ore showing when the
amount expended in the development
Of the property is taken into considern'
ton.
work IN also progressing IN the bui'u-

plant will Ice located near the main
working shaft and its appointments as
nearly automatic as is possible, every
feature pertaining 10 the economic
treatment OF the mine product being
the result of careful consideration by
experienced engineers and operators.
The Redman group is located mile
northwest Of McCabe. The locations
include water rights sufficient to sup.
ply larger plant than Is now being In.

much interest, last year, in that district

SELLS GOLD BRICK TO LOCAL
PEOPLE.
CFrom Saturdays Dailv)


After disposing Of gold brick, the
result of n recent mill run of the
Square Deal mill, but the value Of
which he did not make public, l.. ~.
Wombacker, superintendent Of the Gil
max Mining company, operating in the
Cherry Creek district, returned to his
camp yesterday morning after a two
days visit here.
Mr.. Wombacker is enthusiastic over
the prospects for 1908 on his district,
which he says is fast proving itself the
most promising gold mining district in
the county.
"Cherry Creek was never more pros
porous than now,' he said to Journ'
miner representative. "a number
of mining properties Of promise are be
ing opened and in all my many years
of residence there | never saw the com
muni,y more prosperous or hopeful
There are so many good claims there
in various stages Of development, that
one does not have to make special men
ton Of any particular property.
"Last years operations proved tina,
deep mining is what is necessary e
prove the great hidden wealth of tna'
section of the Black Hills range. OPP
orators and operating companies, with
ample means 20 carry on mining in
business.like way, are now coming II
and taking over the holdings of the
older residents, who did not have the
necessary capital to carry on systematic
development. "
Mr.. Wombacker is also of the opinion
that a railroad will he built from
Dewey, on the Bradshaw Mountain
branch, through his district into tn'
Verde valley as soon as normal fnaneia
conditions prevail again.

NEW YORK Nov. 27.-Dun's Review OF
Trade tomorrow viii say: Although the holiday
and unreasonable weather handicapped business
this week further substantial progress made
toward normal commercial activity, especially
in respect TO the number Of wage earners en-
ployed in the leading industrials. Mills that
have been closed for over year reopening
and many plants that on part time or
force in full operation. Recovery is
making remarkable strides and almost every
comparison with conditions year ago provides
for the day devoted TO grateful recog-
milton.
One of the best features of the week was the
demand for railway supplies. Steel rails were
ordered moderately and many leading roads are
ready to operate If the mills will roll according
to special schedules at standard prices
NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-Bradstreet's tomorrow
will say: Wholesale trade crop and industrial
developments are generally in the direction of
improvement, there is less idle machinery and
the tone of affairs generally is still cheerful
but there numerous irregularities noted in
conditions i'm different sections and industries
The situation whole, therefore. lacks some
of the uniformity which characterized it some
time rgo. Most optimism and strength is ex-
hibitod in the leading lines of domestic manu-
facture and wholesale trade, particularly as to
the outlook for next year, and manufact turers
buying more freely OF most raw materials
while wholesalers report evidences of scarcity
in many lines especially cotton goods, for spring
and later delivery next year. In retail trade
there Is a good deal Of irreguarify. though the

weather helped to improve conditions as the
