The south drift OF the 40O-foot level is

Superintendent Charles Myers will
add to the drilling equipment at the

years. Her wool has doubled In the
same time.
In the nine years beginning with

had grown from thirteen millions to
forty-hve millions of dollars. Her
surplus eggs are valued annually at
over twenty-five millions. Her fruit
In good years is valued at ten mil
