which II Is proposed to continue, is

this must be extended to cut the ledge
is problematical. It is designed to
reach the ledge near $50 feet below
any present upper workings. Prob
ably a contract will be let for extend
ing it 100 feet further, and II is pos
sible that a direct crosscut will then
be made to strike the ledge at the

the Bunker Hill but in all of the larger

meeting expectations. The work of
the new motor has proven so sue
cessful in operation that 1t is now al
most an assured fact that the mine
will soon bt equipped with the stor-
age battery machine.
General Manager Stanly A. Easton

Where threatened with scarcity Of
water, placer mine operators may
work their men overtime. This prov-
