RECORD OF WORLD BROKEN BY ALASKA
 GASTINEAU MINE
Eighty-Seven Hundred Tons of Ore Treated within Twentv-Four Hours-Capacity of Mill
 Soon Be Increased

According to the announcement of Bart L. Thane, manager of the Alaska Gastineau Co.,, made today fast Mondays run at the big mill at Thane broke the milling record Of that company and also the milling record of the world. The olg mill shut down all day the Sunday pre- ceding and on Monday with the mill running at only partial ca pacity, S,70O tons of ore were treat ed within the 24 hours following. This is the greatest amount of ore ever handled in any one day by any company in the world.
 Mir Thane also stated that the cost of mining and milling ore for the past few months in the big mill and mine of the Gastineau company will also stand as worlds record, having been reduced materially from the estimated cost. The record set by the Gastineau company will eventually be the standard Of costs for handling and reducing ore for both the Alaska-Juneau and Tread we'll mines, if the proposed consoli- dalton is put through and the big mill constructed
 Since the beginning of the op- eration of the big mill" said MT. Thane today, "the average costs of mining and milling the ore has been considerably under the seven ty-flve cents per ton, which was the original estimates made by the company engineers. Eminent en- gineers of the mining profession freely predicted that the costs could not be reduced Co seventy-five cents as estimated For the past few months the costs have been siXty-hve cents and under.
 "These costs are the actual min ing costs and all legitimate charges against the mine are included, de- preciation, and construction costs, the balance being taken up by the costs of operation.
 "The mill is at present being op- erated at 60O0-ton average daily capacity, which was our original but it's actual capacity is more than double that amount, or between 12,000 and 15,O00 tons daily.
 As the mine development to the east progresses the mill will grad ually be speeded up. Owing to the contour of the ground and the lay of the ore body on the west end, we must take the ore from certain places first in order that the mine producing capacity be not impair ed.
 This ore on the west end was of lower value than estimated, but it is ore that must be taken out at once. In order to keep the mill ing average up it was necessary to reduce the milling capacity until the eastern stoping ground is open ed. This work-is now progressing rapidly and large bodies of ore of a higher valuation are being opened out for stoping purposes and with in short time the mill will be run ming capacity as we are able to take the ore from the east end and mix it with the west end ore, bringing the average value of the ore to the correctc milling point"
