 After several months of systematic mine development on the properties of the New Cumberland Gold Mining company it has been decided to treat the heavy ore tonnage available by starting up their ten-stamp mill on Friday of this week.
 This was the information given out yesterday by pr. William Woodbnrn, the resident general manager of hat syndicate. and in speaking of the move he feels enthusiastic over the results that will be given. Since as- suming the management of the above company several months ago, pr. Woodburn retired from a lucrative practice of his profession in Mime sota to come to this section to handle the business methods of his company, representing a heavy indi- vidual interest, along with those of many medical men of his state who control the financial welfare of the company. In fact, the New Cumber- land is practically made up of men who follow the medical profession and the selection of pr. Woodburn, was the result of unanimous action.
 His methods are said to have been conducted along business lines of strict regard toward economical ex- penditures and in this he has sue ceeded in getting his mining inter- ests crystalized to a point that war rant the beginning of an era of re- duetion and in which he has flatter- ing possibilities for the future.
 Attending the beginning of mill work on this property, to which is linked splendid conditions in evi- dence in mine exploitation, Dr. Wood burn is an advocate of transporta- tion facilities to his section along lines that will permit mining people in that field to bring in and take out their freight at the lowest possi- ble cost and is accordingly a firm road from Pine Flat to Mayer. This project is receiving official eonsidera- tion and at the opening of bids for constructing the same, J. E. Surrett was the lowest in amount that was asked for. Advocates of this road are reasonable in their demands and they desire that their section shall be considered along lines that other districts enjoy, commensurate, of course, with the state of the mining activity prevailing and to be expect ed. The new road is but six miles in length and the desire of those who will be affected by the buil1- ing of it appreciate the stimulating effect it will serve in bringing their interests to a point that will afford economical means of reaching tn" railroad and especially so the smeltar market when Humboldt resumes
 From the beginning of this move ment to the present time the Cumber- land people have been firm and con sistent supporters of it and in addi- tion to their moral stand, they have come forward in a generous manner financially. pr. Woodburn, in speak ing for his company, flat-footedly makes the statement that he VII 1 build the new road from the basin | of the flat to the summit, distance of over one-half a mile, and down Wolf creek from that point will con struet 5000 feet of the new road. ! This consideration will be of material weight and in addition to this sev eral miners will devote their laoo. toward linking that desirable locality with Mayer. Many claims are being opened in that immediate zone and l the men who are spending their mus ele and time in developing the re- sources of that field believe they | should be encouraged to the fullest | extent. Dr. Woodburn will return to his | camp today and before leaving VII | appear before the board of super visors in this road matter, action on which is under advisement.
