Capital Mine Pro-
duceS Heavy Tonnage

The Capital mine, which for the
past five years has been the main
stay of the upper end of the coun-
ty, is now producing a greater ton
mage and better grade of ore than
it has for years.
Holcombe, Harper and Co.,
leasing in the west drift, now have
ten tons of mill dirt awaiting ship
ment, and are driving straight
ahead on their ground. A streak
of high grade ore giving assay
value OF 5000 to the ton was cut
but has not been developed. The
streak returns 81 ozs. gold, ~
ozs. in silver, 23.5 per cent
lead and high percentage of cop
per. They anticipate starting a
raise on the vein in the near flu
ture, when they expect to break a
heavy tonnage of the high grade
ore which they expect to have rea-
dy for shipment within the next ten
days. Assay values of the streak
give the ore value of over 500
to the ton and with a large body
of ore in sight this lease is prov
ing to be the best proposition in
the mine.
Bruce d Co., DeMasters & Co.,
and Prouse and associates, with
leases in the Capital are all in ore
and making preparations to COM
mence heavy shipments soon. At
present the mill Of the company
is being taxed to its utmost capac-
ity both with company ore and
that from leasers.

While inspecting the big 40

atory to starting work this noon,
d. E. Wykof was caught by a long
bolt protruding from the motor
pulley and hurled to the ground.
His pants and underwear were torn
to shreds but aside from bruises
and slight scratches he was I'M
injured.
The bolt was left in the pulley
by other parties a short time be-
fore and its presence was unknown
to Mr.. Wykotf. He was getting
his head down close to the pulley
to get a sight through the motor
while it was running and can con-
slider himself fortunate that the
accident terminated as it did.
Had he been struck on the head by
the rapidly whirling iron he would
surely have been killed.
