ton. In fact, the only thing the men in
control of II will say Is that tho property
will produce millions Of dollars In gold
how many millions they do not know them
selves. Tho company erected plant and
was about 10 commence production when
the forest fire injerfered. The work had to
be done all over again. The new plant is
costing over 10000 There will be forty
gravity stamps, Weighing 1850 pounds each.
The product Of the ttamps will be fine
ground In tube mills. then amalgamated
and then cyanided. The NIL will have
capacity OF four hundred tons day using
a quarter inch screen II a finer mesh IS
used the run will be less. The system OF
mining will be open pit work The electric
plant will furnish loo horsepower OF elee-
tricity. The steam plant will furnish l'W'
horsepower besides. The mill, power house
rock house machine shop and warehouse
are Of structural steel and concrete. There
will be nineteen brick buildings with iron
roofs Including general ONCE. hospital
clubhouse, bunk house. cook house anu
residences Of brick Of seven and nine ROOMS
each for the manager and roremen.
There are about FIVE hundred men at
work on the ground now. The Dome is
enc huge outcrop OF quartz and schist rocK'
with veins extending over II In ell dlrec-
tons There Is gold In evidence every
where on the surface. and many shafts
and great crosscuts have blocked out the
ore to q depth OF nifty feet. while diamond
drills have proved the existence Of values
TO a depth OF nine hundred feet The I'M
preston has grown up that the average
value of all this rock will be somewhere
between 81 and SIS ton. No official state
raents have been made. and no outsiders
rave been allowed TO examine the property.
Mining men only care TO know what the
average run Of the rock will be- but those
less experienced are excited over the snow
ings In seams and rich streaks. where al
most pure gold is seen in untold quanu-
ties.
The HolIinser.
The Holineer mine comes next This
company has so far uncovered six strong
veins running through It's property In a
hwesterly-northeasterly direction. The
widest Of these veins averages twenty
feet, but the next In Importance is nearly
as wide. The existence Of these veins and
the values in them have been proved to a
depth OF 200 feet Any mining man Of
standing is allowed to go underground and
view the scenes for himself, though he Is
not allowed. OF course. TO sample the entire
mine. There is much speculation In mining
circles as to tho entire value Of tne ore
now blocked out, and the controversy has
ragged in the mining press for some time
There has been a wild speculation IN tho
stock II went on the market at Sc 50. ad-
vanced 10 SIG 50, declined 10 50 50 and Is
now S2 60 II Is intimated that soon an
official statement will be Issued by the
company. So far there have been only two
Offlcial utterances made in relation 70 the
matter. When the work had reached the
loO-foot level the president OF the COM
pany stated that the ore averaged $50 a
ton. Some months later, when the work
reached the 2C0-foot depth. the mine man
ager stated that the ore varied In value
in different parts Of the mine considerably.
and assays were made on different lots
which ran from 81 20 a ton to something
Ike 800 ton. At this time no average
assays were given. II takes a long time
to dig down into the bowels OF the earth,
and the deeper the shaft Is sunk the
greater is the problem. All Porcupine be-
leves the Hollinger to be a great mine,
and the company Is developing the prop
erty on q magnificent scale. Like the
Dome, It has several hundred men at work
now rebuilding the plant destroyed by the
fire. BY the way, a second fire will be I'M
possible.
The Bureau OF Mines has outlined three
sections In Tisdale Township where the
assuring Is most pronounced. one Is the
Dome section, and here are located the
Dome. North Dome. Dome Extension, Pres
ton East Dome and West Dome. F. Au-
gustus Heinze Is IN control OF the West
Dome He has about one hundred men al
work, and without doubt is investing
large sum Of money in trying TO develop
gold mine The principal showing Is in
what Is known as the Foster vein. y Is
known In the camp as a sort OF freak
formation. IN that bands Of sehlst and
bands Of quartz II tersect each other across
the vein and not parallel with Il, No in
formation is given as 10 what the diamond
drills are proving this vein contains at
depth but everywhere on the surface along
the huge outcrop Is gold visible to the
naked eye, and the men who are working
on the ground seem TO be confident that
they are engaged In developing one Of the
most succc cssful properties.
Dome Extension.
Dome Extension has been popular in the
camp at the time when the first discov-
cries in the district were made some pros
pectors staked out eleven claims here.
Captain De Lamar and his people bought
six Of them ana incorporated them as the
Dome Mines The other FIVE claims were
incorporated as the Dome Extension Mines
Company. and the hope was held out that
In the Dome Extension ground would be
found some veins or strlngers Of gold ore
from the big" Dome itselt large
amount Of cash was placed In the treas
ury Of the Dome Extension Company and
prospecting and shaft work have been 60
| ing forward there for q year. Recently
what has been proved about the ground
has encouraged some one TO say that the
/ big Dome people might well be boastng
Of having IN extension OF the Dome Ex-
/ tension veins rather than that the Dome
| Extension people should be trying to gain
credit for having part OF the big Domo
formation
The Preston East Dome is on the east
and south OF the big dome. the Preston
claim being now regarded as the richest
portion of this companys estate. On a
large hill here. which was swept as clean
as q hounds tooth by the FIRE, hfty-two
quartz veins have been discovered 10 run
across the property. They all carry gold
on the surface. Two shafts have heen sunk
eight hundred feet apart. Ii is proposed
e. connect these shafts by running { cross
