to Come.

The closing of the mill at the
South Fork mine on account OF
the hues in the boiler becoming
burt out, brings to mind that
this is the first time that this
mine has been shut down from
the time of it's location.
When the South Fork was first
located, in doing the recording
work, shipping ore was encount-
cred, and a small crew of men
were put to work getting out ore
and sampling it for shipment.
At this time two car loads were
shipped that averaged better
than 5000 per ton.
At this time, the locator, E. E.
Espey, had a small mill on an
adjoining claim, which he moved
near where the present mill is
situated, and commenced to mill
ore that would not stand ship
ment. A large part of this ore
had to be roasted before being
put through the mill, partly be-
cause it was base and because it
was easier handled by the mill,
which was a small two-stamp
affair, which Mr.. Espey had in
genuously constructed from the
remanents of cast off mills. In
the milling of this ore Espey re-
lied on panning to tell the value
of his ore, and he became an
adept at this kind of assaying.
He is estimated to have taken
out about $4,000 in this way,
and at no time did his mill have
a capacity to exceed a ton a day.
The property was finally ac-
quired by Frank Peck of Elk
City, and Alfred Adams of At
lantic City, and they drove a
tunnel on the vein and erected g
five stamp mill. Under this
management the property was
operated about a year, and M
further development work was
done, as there was an abundance
of ore on this level. After run
ming year, some misunderstood
ing between Peck and Adams
caused them to dispose of the
property to the Elk City Mines
Corporation, of Spokane, o.
which w. H. Stowell is president
and ]. T. ONO is secretary an(
treasurer.
This company made severa
improvements at the mill ant
did some development work il
the mine, which showed tina
there was a very large tonnag
of ore left on the first level
After getting some slopes open
ed, a second tunnel was started
and almost at the outset ore wa
encountered, and in this way tn
mill has been supplied with ore
and has never been forced t
shut down.
The remarkable part of thi
property is the fact that afte
