About April l churn drilling will

several months FOR reduction. The
big main shoot has been reached bv

going on. This, exploration estab-
fishes the best ore bodies on the
Nenezia location, and assures a per

Ray Central Active
There are more evidences Of activ-

there has been since the withdrawal
Of the Lewissohns several months
ago. says the Ray Copper. Camp.
Frank II. PrObert, consulting engi-

satisfactory pace this trip. There
are now sixty men on the pay roll
Of this company and they are max

All work is directed from the cen

The Keystone drill has been !

The keystone will be used in pros

fact, it is at work now sinking a |
hole between the Tribolet market |
and Marden's ice cream parlors.
Another hole will be put down about
100 feet to the southeast near the |
corner of the Ray Central property |

will be sunk near the postoffice and
two or three holes will be drilled on
the west side of Main street.
