Pete Orella has crew Of about IL

King Solomon mountain. He has re-
paired the tramway to the Contention
mill and is using that to transport
his ore from the mine to the rail-
road. He has been working up there
for the past four or five months, and
has opened up a fine body Of ore, the
larger portion Of which is of mill
ing grade, but some Of it Is high
grade enough to justify sorting and
shipping in the crude. 1t is under
stood he will ship some direct to the
smclter, and also make a 500 to 900
ton mill run soon. The Big Giant
is one of the old time mines which
helped to make this district. With
modern methods, there is still good
mine there, handling the portions of
the vein which were not considered
rich enough to handle in the early
days.-Silverton Miner.
