Of ore, the output at the present time
being al the rate of Approximately l6O
tons a day. The mill is about com
pleted and Il hosting plant has. been
installed for the purpose Of continuing
! aud eularging development work on
| the l90O.foot level. This new hoist Is
one of the most modern electric ma
chimes in use, having speed Of loUo
! feet a minute and being exceedingly
economical OF operation.
