We get off and stand at one side, as an
ore train comes laundering along. It is
drawn by powerful electric engine. The

holds 10 tons of ore. It carries $50 tons of
gold-bearing rock, and there is at least $500

reduction works Of the property. We can
see the mills 700 feet above us on the sides
of the mountain They seem to grow out Of
the rocks, extending for long distance
down the slopes, SO that gravity carries the
ore through one process after another.
The offices are right on the sea. The
mines themselves are three miles back in the
mountains. They begin about $500 feet
above where we are now, and we are hauled
up by cable to visit them. Our car is an
open platform on wheels, with a wall at the
lower end to Yep us from falling or sliding,
as the car CLIMBS the track. The road has a
80 per cent grade and the way is almost
straight up the side of a cliff covered with
forests

After this the cars carry the ore straight to
the mills. There it is automatically dumped
and the machinery is such that it is hardly
touched by mans hands until the gold has
been won.

AT the end OF the cable we meet what
might be called the private car of the man

open doors at the sides and seats under
cover. II is equipped with storage bat
terry, and is so small that it can go anywhere
throughout the mine In it we ride around
the side of the mountain. We fly through a
canyon and enter a tunnel, which is two
miles in length and 1000 feet below the
snow-clad peaks overhead It is through
this tunnel that the ore goes in trains to the
mills
The tunnel is cut right through the ore.
