 Two New Ore Strikes Once more the Junction comes to the front for the C. & 4. This week | two new ore strikes are reported by this company and both from that shaft. One of these strikes was en- countered on the 149O and the other on the 1900 level and both bodies are shown to be good ones.
 The C. and A. company has felt | the effect of the exodus of the Balk- an Patriots and is at the present glad to get any experienced miners. Experienced men are being hired as fast as they apply for work and ar9 in demand. Thus far the new com. CTS have been found particular and inclined to choose their places rather than take such places as are offer l ed them.
