Is the Milwaukee road going 70 ex-
tend its tracks TO the Msnsheld miner
That is an open question these days,
the opener coming in the shape OF
survey made by the engineers OF that
concern from the end of the company's
tracks at the Armenia mine to the
Mansfield property. The survey strikes
Of from the present joint track that is
being constructed TO the Macdonald
and Armenia. crosses the Northwestern
aud parallels that track TO the property
line OF the Mansfield where the survey
joins the present tracks that serve the
mine.
Nothing further mas been done and
1t is not known definitely II the survey
is TO be followed by grading.
CORRIGAN MCKINNEY MINES.
About the only thing new to report
from these properties is the instslla
tion of the new engine TO hoist the
man cage at the Great Western mine.
This work was in progress for two
weeks being completed the first Of the
present week. During the time this
work was being done the men were
given the alternative OF laying off or
riding ON the skips at their own risk.
A few laid oil short time but after
compile OF days the the skips were
rugged up with honnets and the crew
worked all through the ter as usual.
No stocked ore mas been sent forward
from these properties yet but fine
daily output Is maintained at all OF
the working properties.
THE BRISTOL
Very good progress is being made at
this property. both in the line OF n
daily output and in the shipping Of
q stocked ore. A cut has been made
along the pile and the shovel is
now back on the second cut, Remark
able loading was done one day last
week when the shovel loaded over 100
cars. Geo. Kiern has charge of the
shovel and handles it very nicely.
THE GIBSON.
At this property there is considerable
activity maintained and most Of the
stocked ore has been loaded into cars
and shipped. A fair sized daily out
put is being maintained considering
the fact that the property is little more
than an exploration.
THE RED ROCK.
A spur is 20 be built from this Mil
waukee road 10 the exploration which
will greatly facilitate matters up there
The spur will be but short one as the
railroad runs close ~ the mine but il
will do away with a great deal Of team
work that is now necessary.
This will be- the first entry the Mil
waukee system has made to any Of the
Pickands Matter min and IL is signi-
ficant for that reason. The Milwaukee
has been running within stone throw
OF the Hemlock mine for fifteen years
bat no connection with that property
has ever been made. It is also stated
tnat the proposed extension Of the Mil
waukee from this city TO Irou River
got but little encouragement from
these people which may be one OF the
rAasons that the extension has not YET
Nen built
THE NETT EXPLORATIONS
M. A. Hanna & Co are still prose
cutting their exploratory work on the
lands on the Nett River. The drill
work has been about completed but test
pitting has been started again Just
what announcement is being met with
Is not given out but that formation
exists out there has bcon proved be.
yond a doubt
