LIKELY TO EXPLORE
HILL TOP PROPERTY
IT'S SAID THE OLIVER COMPANY IS
CONSIDERING THAT MOVE
AMAsA GROUP ALL WORKING
~. are Being Hired as Fast as They
Land There and Future Of That Sec
ton Looks Very Bright.

From thoroughly reliable source we
learn that the Oliver Iron Mining com
pany has decided to thoroughly explore
the Hill Top Mine property. This
property includes the sen of the
NV and Lot 3 of Section 22 1882
The deposit OF ore opened up on this
prperty lies In the extreme north west
corner. Not much ore was proved up
at that point bat enough TO warrant
the Oliver people in continuing to
hang onto the lease which has years
more 10 run The mine was stripped
several years ago and the machinery
on the ground sold for old junk and ii
was thought at the time that eventual
ly. the Oliver people would release the
property. This they have refused TO
do and the developments on the Sell
of section q by both the Corrigan-
Mckinney people and Ben Neeley mas
drawn the attention of the lease holl-
ers TO that section of their property.
Lot 3 extends down to the shores Of
Runkle lake and from present indica-
tions that section is a mighty good one
TO seek ore in
Should the oliver people decide to
90 ahead and explore the Hill Top
much of the work will be done in the
vicinity Of Runkle lake and especially
so II the Jones a Laughlin people
should find anything of value To the
east Of the Hill Top property.

The Red Rock property is being
opened up at a greater depth ana ore
will be shipped from tire mine the
coming season. The drift TO cut the
ore and prove 10 up is now being driv-
on and AS soon az that has been finish

equipp.ng the property It is quite
likely that an entirely new plant OF
machinery will be put in and num-
ber OF houses built the coming summer.
The HenlocK is looking better thar
she has looked in a long time and IL is
understood that new surface equip
ment will be added there the coming

mine and needs heavier machinery
than she has on the ground at present.
Nothing has been heard about when
the Michigan will be started mp. The

AT the Verona exploration south Of
the Michigan on section o. 43-33 the
old shaft. sunk twenty years ago. has

drills and other tools used by the work
men when the shaft was sunk.
The shaft was In vein matter but In
those days the grade of ore found there
