Never before have the mi
been so crowded with ores never be-
fore ST. much ore been awaiting treat
ment, and never before has SO much
ore been going over the dumps on ac
count of the lack of mill capacity as
there is at the present time. And the
SIT, alton grows steadily worse.
yesterday the Phoeniy lease on the
G',e estate ~; oE an additional
force of 10 men. This will result in a
worse state of affairs than ever. Both
the Klinker and the Queen mills have
been turned over to this lease in an
effort to keep pace with the ore produc-
ton and they cannot keep pace with
one lease. The Portland, the Rawhide
Truett, the Coalition Crown, Kearns
No. 3, Victor and Mint are all on the
anxious seat awaiting a turn at the
mills.
The Phoenix has by it's unprecedent-
| denied production literally forced the
mills to give it first recognition. 1t was
thought that the 1880 ounces of bullion
that Vice-president Berry took out with
him the early part of the week was
about one-half of the bullion that
would be cleaned up in the 220 tons
run from the Brutt-B Balloon Hill lease
on the Queen. 1t proved to be slightly
more than one-third. Tonight the Queen
mill will finish melting over 2000 oun-
ces more, making a total of $3.50 ounces
or nearly Is ounces to the ton. This
does not nearly represent the value of
the ore. The mill probably failed to
recover a large part of the values,
which will be later recovered through
the cyanide process.
This afternoon the Queen mill start.
ed up on Phoenix ore and will run at
least a week longer without change.
This lease alone would be considered a
good sized mine in any camp, and is
growing greater every day. 1t is prac-
tically the first lease let in the camp
and was known to mining fame as the
Kearns No. /. Everything broken in
the raise and south drift on the 300
foot level of the Coalition Crown lease
on the Coalition estate is being thrown
on the mill dump and as soon as Pres
ident Lansing of the Crown returns
from the east a shipment as large as
the local mills will accept will be run
through. Several inches of high grade
ore has been showing in the raise men
toned for several days past. This is all
being broken with the mill grade and
makes the average higher than ever.
Tonight the Victor lease on Coalition
has four feet eff shipping ore. A sample
across the vein at the 3O0-foot level,
the lowest level in the mine, assayed
SIP per ton. This high grade was en-
countered in the drift that is being run
in the vein and is the best showing
thus far this lease has ever had. 1t
proves in still another practical in
stance the continuity of the rich lodges
here to great depth, and also that not
only is the ore richer at depth, but the
veins are also wider and IN perfect
place.
The Truett lease on the Coalition has
been hosting ore for several days and
will have a $50 ton shipment ready the
minute there is an opening in the mills.
The Portland lease has struck at the
100-foot level a rich vein that showed
so well at the 5O-foot level. This lease
is also awaiting a turn at the mills.
The Victor Standquist Gold Kearns
No. p lease on the Queen is hosting
from the 500 and the 200-foot levels.
As soon as the Queen mill can break
away from the Phoenix ores it will be
turned to the treatment of some of the
Coalition ores.
Every one in camp is waiting impa-
tiently for the consolidation of the
Coalition and the Queen, which will
mean so much to every one. 1t is real
lied now more than ever the benefits
that will quickly follow this step and
the beginning of development work by
the parent companies IN a large scale
and the expansion of the parent milling
facilities will work wonders almost i'm
mediately. This will all come about if
the present consolidation plans do not
miscarry, which is altogether improb-
able. President +. w. King of the
Coalition and Queen has been called
upon the last few days to apply in a
