at the site of the new shaft and the
latter part of the month they may
have a considerably increased force
at work. From the 1000 level they
are upraising rapidly in the shaft
and it will not be long until they
are connected with the 700. Vigorous
and enthusiastic is the campaign on
this property and its work is in
fine shape throughout.
DRILLS ON BUTTE ELY.
On Friday three of the Giroux
drills were moved on the Butte Ely
ground and it is understood Will
maks a rapid exploitation of that
property. 1t is presumed that this
work is under the terms of an OPP
ton Giroux is said to have on
Butte Ely control. This option may
or may moi be exercised. 1t is the
belief. however, that it will be and
that it will not be long before a
definite announcement is made to
such effect. Meantime much de-
ponds on the results obtained from
the drill holes. From results that
have attended Nevada Con. drilling
on the Liberty, adjoining Butte Ely,
as stated in this column last Sun
day, there is small room left for
doubt as to the ore being ecured.
BOSTON ELY.
The material brought last week in
to the shaft of the company carried
ore but has been announced by Cen
eral Manager Ralph not to be what
he is looking for. 1t represents,
however, a splendid indication and
gives very large assurance of near
approach of the shaft to the con-
tact, where it is as near certain as
can be in advance of actual strike
that they will catch the sulphides
and enter into their real ore body.
Sinking is going ahead steadily and
within a very short time there should
be news that will be most welcome
to everybody.
HIDDEN TREASURE.
Leasers are preparing to enter
upon more extensive development.
They are highly encouraged in the
belief that they will have shipping
grade of lead silver from their lease
for some time to come.
COPPERMINES.
Is having, good success with the
new drill hole recently started. The
situation is pronounced very salts
factory.
Ely CENTRAL.
Is continuing with it's hole near
the line of Cumberland Ely's Puritan
claim. Findings in this hole are
similar to those recently secured by
the drills on Cumberland and are
very encouraging to expectation of
developing a steam shovel ore body
on this portion of the property of
Central AS soon as the new develop
ment campaign of the company is
started, a shaft will begin going
down near the, Copper Flat pit line.
This shaft will be sent through the
overburden down through the ore
as was the Eureka shaft of Nevada
Con. through which Copper Flat ore
body was demonstrated.
NEW UNIT ACCEPTED.
The fourth unit of the concentration
was turned over to the SteDtoe Val
lev Smelling E. Mining on Friday by
the Hughes Construction Co.. ac-
ceptance being made of the work by
the Steptoe Valley. This followed
a seven day trial run of the new unit
under the operation of the Construc-
ton Co. The latter is conceded to
have accomplished its work in the
most excellent manper and with a
speed during the time hat ma
terials were ready at hand that was
probably never before equaled IN
concentration construction. The SUI
pervision of this construction was in
the hands of VIM. Barker, who re-
signed from the Steptoe Co. smelter
construction division to enter into
the Hughes Construction Co. as a
partner. He brought much valuable
mechanical experience to the aid of
the on the concentration job
and made a record for it that sets
a new mace for future construction
of this kind as we'll as a high stan
dard of efficiency.
NEW UNIT GOES SMOOTHLY.
With the starting of the new
unit of the concentration IN ore dur
ing the week. the ore consumption
of the plant at McGill was raised to
$500 tons daily. This amount is
all coming from Copper Flat steam
shovels The new unit of the con-
contractor, the fourth. has been per-
forming excellently. breaking into
operation with smoothness and eff
ficiency for a new plant. A few
rough edges remain to be worked
off, as is always the case with new
machinery, when the tonnage re-
quired by the mill will doubtless
make some further gain.
$500 TONS DAILY.

ore line is making in connection with
