MUCH BUYING OF MINERAL LANDS
Many State Tax Lands Bought For Mineral
Possibiitles-Lot Three Machinery

The shaft sinking which has been
going on at the North Armenia for
some time is progressing nicely and
the new shaft is now down to about
the same depth as the old workings.
A new level Will be added TO the prop
erty to be opened from this new shaft
the coming season.
The shaft is intended more for ex-
ploratory purposes than otherwise as It
is 6xl0 in dimensions and intended for
but single skip.
The property has been operated
so far by the Macdonald Exploration
company but IL Is understood that a
new concern is being incorporated to
operate the property so that this mine
will be distinct in every way from the
Huron Mining company which Is oper
ating the Youngs mine at Palatka
The property is under the immediate
supervision of Albert Drake who mas
made an excellent record In developing
mine out there.

surprising that furnace men are not
showing any particular interest In the

discussion of ore prices. but the pre-
