The Calumet and Sonora.
The mill Of the Calumet & Sonora
company, north of town, has been
placed in operation. after being idle
for a short time to permit some neces-
sary changes and repairs. 1t is now
running better than before and will be
kept busily engaged turning out con-
contracts. Shipments have been contin-
ued during the time the mill was idle,
as a considerable amount of concen-
trates had been piled up. Dwight K.
Woodbridge of Duluth, Mimi, was at
the property making an examination of
7 min Of he
tive committee of the company and it IS
reported that his report will be very
satisfactory. The conditions in the mine
are good.
New Mil for the SANTA Fee.
Mining experts who have been out TO
look at the Montoya shaft Of the Santa
Fe Consolidated company are of the
opinion that this mine has an excellent
future. The shaft is nearing the 200
foot level and when this is reached.
drifting will be commenced in several
directions along the veins. The forma
ton in the shaft is almost identical to
that of the Calumet & Sonora's shaft
The gangue is porphyritic and is Of the
nature which makes ore. Altogether
the indications are favorable. That a
mill of 100 tons capacity will be in
stalled at the mine is now a certainty,
as plans have been made towards this
end. There is sufficient ore on, the
dumps OF the Santa Fe and Montoya
shafts to keep a mill of the above ca
pacity busy for an Indefinite period.
