as the carving of that portion of the
upper part of the building which has
been set. The approaches. bids for

will be $50 feet long at their greatest

OLD DEAN MINE TO
RESUME OPERATIONS.

After laying idle for great many
years, the old Dean mine has resumed
operations. This property produced
$1,500,000 from the better grade of
ores mined and which were treated
on the ground with ten stamp mill.
At that time the company used coal
for fuel, and as transportation was
very high, only the very best grades
of ore were treated. leaving thousands
of tons of lower grade ore in the
slopes, which are now to be milled,
says the Battle Mountain Scout.
The old company drove drain and
working tounnel 300 feet into the
mountain and tapped the ledge at a
vertical depth of ATS feet lower than
the upper workings They were thus
enabled to block out thousands Of
tons of ore, none of which has been
mined. The General Mining company
has taken this property over and will
work from IL to is men during the
winter months. cleaning up old tun-
nels, drifts and slopes, replacing tim.
bers, and getting the mine into shape
for big production of milling ore.
A new mill is to be built farther
down the canyon, which will enable
the company to handle all ores taken
from the mine to the mill by gravity,
thus cutting the operating expenses
to such an extent that nearly as much
profit will be derived from treating
the lower grade ores in the slopes as
from the high grade milled in the
past.
