the results are of the most satisfactory

has been opened from which a very
substantial profit is expected as a re-
suit OF their winters work. A short
mill run was made on this ore which
yielded sufficient gold to pay the ex-
penses.
The o. K. property has been quite
extensively opened up and is making

The Bourne mine is being operated
BY new company under lease and
bond. A change was made in the mill
and five stamps were installed. The
mill is now running on Sl2 to SIS ore
and considerable quantity of ore is in
sight in the mine, while considerable
development work is under way; a

At the Success very little new work
has been done but the main has been
kept up in good shape and several
hundred thousand dollars worth of ore
are estimated in sight in the several
ore chutes already opened. This is
one of the promising properties of the
camp it Is understood that several
parties who have had examinations
made are favorably impressed with
same. If a good strong company
takes hold of this mine there will soon
be another mill in line for the camp.

company closed its mill when the con-

of hauling in fuel-oil too great: be-

hold the tailings and there were other
expenses and losses that made it adj

advisable to install the cyanide addi-

ore and thus save much of the loss
that has been accommodating in that
failing pond. Development work has
been prosecuted in the mine some rich
ore having been encountered in the
new workings.
The leassees on the Pick and Shovel
after making a very successful short
run with their mill, closed the mill
down owing to the difficulty of haul
ing the ore from the mine down to
the mill; the development work in
the mine has been pushed and several
ore chutes are we'll opened up so that
very satisfactory amount of ore is in
sight ready for the mill when it be-
comes practicable to start it again.
