An admirable mill site has been secured and the company is now preparing plans for the 2,500-mill and the location for the central operating shaft has been determined upon. On account of the nature of this ore body this company will be in position to easily supply this mill with the full tonnage from the outset as. soon as the mill can be completed. ''
