THE
 ROCK STEADILY

The Lone star quartz mine, at the head of victoria gulch, tribu- tary of Bonanza creek, is working steadily, and up to June 30 of this season the mill had crushed 1,54O tons, of which 1,O28 3-4 tons were crushed in June. A four-stamp mill is used, and twelve men are engag- ed at the mine and in connection with the mill. The mill operates every day and every night in the month. The mine Is worked only during the day time,
 ''The ore," says MT, Sealle, "s conveyed from the large open cut down the hill $500 feet to the mill on a cable, Two cars are attached to the cable, and the heavy one, by the gravity, draws the light one up. Each car on the cable holds twice as much ore as one of the mine cars.
 "The overhauling of the Lone Star plant and mill, together with tSe erection of the new concentrator and the building to house the same, was completed May 15, and the mill has been running steadily ever since, operating about 225ahours a day. At present it is crushing about 35 tons of rock a day through 24- mesh screens. Everything is run ming smoothly, and the concentrator is producing a clean concentrate. The ore in the open cut is of the same nature as that worked last year-DaWson News.
