as possible and at the same time will

 Then as soon as possible he will re- sume operations driving the second level further west It is now developed for several hundred feet, exposing g world of low grade ore, but at the end
 where work stopped. a fault occurs He believes however that it was just 6 slipping of the formation, possibly only a few feet, possibly for a hundred, but in any event he is certain that by con- tinuing straight ahead he will run into the ore body again beyond the fault. His reason for his faith is that 14C i feet directly west of the present end of the level he has a shaft down deep CT than the level, in which there is some of the finest ore ever found in the mine, and 300 feet further west in a direct line, is another which also shows wonderfully rich ore. He is certain the vein is in place and that all he needs to do is just dig a while and he will run into it again.
 It has also shown in the develop ment of the mine to date that the deep CT the work the richer the ore. The best ore that has been milled came from the third level and the ore at the bottom of it is richer than that above He feels certain therefore that when the tunnel on the fourth level is run under the ore body it will be found to be richer than any considerable quan- tity yet found. Values are shown all through the formation where the sta g. nt high. It is not the regular vein forma- ton however. just at that point but is comparatively soft dirt. the softest en- countered in the mine as evidenced by the nearby cave in the shaft, and is a sort of a perphyritic rock filled with iron and bits of quartz. He was never more sure of anything than that lit- tie driving of the tunnel will open up the same vein encountered above and richer in value.
 MT Hamhn's idea of operating from now on is that of doing things on a real mining scale. He wants to drive the fourth level in 400 feet and the sec ond level considerably further than it is to meet the shafts mentioned. giving better safety and better ventilation and when this is done if all his calculations have not been erroneous he will have a tonnage of ore in sight that will war rant the erection of a mill that will handle hundred tons a day, and just such a mill is required to operate the mine to a profit. once this ore is ex- posed he will have no difficulty in se- curing the mill. The only trouble is getting the money to keep this neces- sary development work going.
 The mine is equipped with a seven foot Lane mill which has been proved to be the proper process for his ore, but the values of the large exposed body on the upper levels are too meager to return much profit from plant that only mills a ton an hour. Two ten foot Lane mills he believes would reduce hundred tons per day and make good profits even with the ore he has and much better of course on the quantity of ore he hopes to develop below. But he is not seeking to find a rich streak to work out in the little mill. What he wants in quan 'ty and the richer the better he can secure the big mill. He says that he believes, and was told by a representative of the Guggenheims a year ago, that he has now exposed, be-
