stope, that ample dirt will be
taken up to keep the mill run
ming steadily, at which time at
least two cars of zinc ore can be
made at this property.
The Lancaster, under the man.
agement of Mr.. Miller, is making
into increased ore beds, and it is
becoming more imperative for the
increasing of the hosting capa-
city, which will be accomplished
by the sinking of another work
ing shaft to the east of the mill,
as the ore body is dipping in that
direction. This property is max.
ing its usual amount of ore each
week.
Development at the Paola Min
ing Company's shaft is progress
sing nicely and some fine ore is
being dumped on the bank. This
bids will to equal the two neigh
boring diggings, Good Luck and
Lancaster. which are on the same
run of ore az the Paola diggings.
One of the exceptions in this
camp is the Lincolnville mine,
which is located just south of the
Paola shaft and is so close to a
high bluff that a gravity mill can
be built on the hill side, which
would save all the hosting by
elevators after the dirt was once
dumped into the hopper from the
mine, or the mine could be work
ed from a drift entering from the
bottoms to the east, with slight
. incline. The latter method would
save all pumping or at least be
only a slight lift which would be
. quite inexpensive. It looks as il
this property would allow of a
great economy in operating from
its peculiar position. 1t has an
ore body of IS to 80 feet of free
ore imbedded in a sewage and
broken ebert, which means easy
mining and milling.
Tom lakewood is making a
fine success of his system of sig
ing the ores from the White
Eagle mine. The fine crushing
of the ores and table system o.
saving of the fines has demon
strated that this is a long step II
the right direction in treating
the ores of the north camp, anC
no doubt would prove equally al
effective in making a better saw
ing in the operations of many o
the mills, not only of the soutl
camp, but especially in the Mia
mi camp, where the ores are 81
closely disseminated. This lint
of improvement, in causing
. greater saving from the ore
. mined, has added immensely Il
I the value of the ores in thi
! camp and has demonstrated tina
: these finely disseminated ores cal
be mined prOftably.
John NJ. Rice and associates
who are working the Red JACKIE
mine, are taking out some flint
ore from the run of ore which thu
former Dark Horse and Sunny
Side mine made such a good rec
