from month to month.
Ore transportation from the mine to
the mill by the Northern Pacific Rail
way company has continued to be sat
The cost is Is cents per
wet ton.
General Remarks.
Results of development: There has
been no prosecuting of your ground
In search of new veins, and there has
been very little drifting done on the
yond the known pay ore shoot. This
has been due to limited funds avail
able for such exploration work, and
consequently there has been no new
ore shoots discovered in addition to
the original. Drifting should be car
ried to the east in the main assure.
sonable amount of prosecuting should
be done.
Ore reserves Ore blocked out De-
81, 1913, approximately $1,000
tons.
Recommendation at the Mine.
You should connect the vertical tri-
pie compartment winze with NO. z
tunnel, and equip it with modern
hosting machinery
This improvement would permit
from an operating standpoint the ham
ding of any probable tonnage desired.
Now production is limited. 1t would
also permit shaft sinking without in
terfering with production, as is now
the case.
You should secure new railway ter
minal and yard facilities at Burke
for the shipping of your product from
the mine, and economical handling OF
supplies coming in.
The above improvements would
jointly result in a saving Of about 81
cents per ton mined.
Recommendation at the Mill.
The leased mill being used by you
company is not equipped with moderl
machinery. 1t does not include mod
ern practice, and is therefore givln
very poor recOveries on your ore. Con
seouently your losses from milling ar
excessive. This mill was put into us
without any changes in it's flow shee
or adaptations to the particular re
uuirements of your ore, and ther
have been no changes since.
It should be kept in mind that 70
will ultimately require a new mill, an
with this in view you should add neN
Equipment and make such changes a
the present mill as will materially in
crease your earnings. And arrange
ments should be made whereby 20
can remove any new machinery frof
the present mill to a mill of your ow
in the future, so that there would b
no losses on new Equipment purchased
Such a plan would give opportunit
to experiment and gather data in tn
present mill, to be used if a new mi
were built.
Assuming the average prices of leat
silver and zinc to be the same as 70
the year 1913, it is estimated that a
increased saving at the mill could b
made of approximately $1.30 per to
milled.
Therefore the combined estimate
saving at the mine and mill gained b
making the improvements referred t
would amount to $21O per ton As
suming the mill was operated at ii
monthly capacity of 5000 tons, thi
would amount to $10,500 per montl
This is a saving that the compan
can not afford to neglect.
