George Wingfeld of the Consolidated is

Fraction company could under no condi-

is being made chiefly from the ground

The lower portion OF the main Flor

provided at intervals of fifty feet

sunk 10 greater depth. At present Il is
estimated that sufficient good ore is In
sight TO occupy the mill to capacity for
many months and the shaft has not been
sunk deeper for the reason that it was
