here is very heavy. If there are more
than twenty rods in single line it
will be necessary to brace line post
midway between the corners to stretch
from. as more than twenty rods can
not be frightened satisfactorily at one
Stretch.
Wherever a gate is to be put in the
posts will have to be braced solidly.
A good way to do this is to put in
posts that will extend about twelve
feet above the ground and connect the
tops with strong wire. This method
of bracng cannot be used with cement
posts. as they will not stand much
lateral strain.
a swinging gate is by far the most
convenient. provided it is properly put
in. 1t should be we'll enough braced
so that it will not sag and drag on the

likely TO drift gate that can be ad
justed to various heights is a great
convenience. Fig. 2 shows conven-
lent and easily constructed type Of

other places where appearance counts
for anything an iron gate is preferable.

At one point in the mine there is a body

is selected. The company has spent

All the churn drill men have been
laid off by the company, as sufficient

The claims are located eight miles

near its connection with the Organ

Of the lead contents Another group
Of three claims is called the Plata, on
account Of the silver contents. The

is called the Orc from the gold con-

Gated on a assure also about four feet
wide in the granite which runs dag
onally from the Plata to the Plomo
group.
The ores of the PIomo or contact
vein are lead and silver. the surface
being lead carbonates. The ores of
