It has cleaned up a total of s6,000, ac- cording to o. T. James, one of the partners who had the bond and lease on the Secret Pass-Gol Top. The property was bonded subsequently to U. P Loftus and Charles s. Sprague of Goldfield As a necessary prelim- mary to the deal, the interests of the former leasees were purchased They were Paul Morton, J. W. Stalker and Mir. James.
 They worked out lens of three feet cf ore that averaged S320 a ton and have left a body thirty feet wide that averages SIP. This would pay hand somely with the Tetrault mill and the owners of the little plant only regret that they cannot have their lease re- l newed for a year.
 MT. James says the mill can be operated at rate per ton that is less than in any large mill in this coun- try. They ran it twenty -four hours with seven gallons of distillate. a small amount of cylinder oil and prac tically no other expense save that Of two men. But 1t takes an extra large amount of water.
