PROSPECT OF RAILROAD GIVES A
BOOST TO MINING
OPERATIONS

The construction of a mill Of $50
tons capacity by the Constitution Min
ing company, on Pine creek, Is now
actually under way The concrete
foundation Is being laid and the ma
chinery has been ordered for delivery
as soon as the work on the building
has been advanced to point ready
for its installation, The company put
In a sawmill few months ago and
this is now busy turning out lumber
for the mill, as we'll as for other pur-
poses in connection with the mine. In
the meantime the Constitution con-
tinues TO make regular shipments of
crude ore, several teams being engag-
ed in hauling it to the Pine creek sta
ton on the railroad The building of
the mill at this late season is taken
to mean that the Constitution COM
pany has assurance that the O,-W. r.
4 N. company will build a branch to
the property as soon as practicable
Development of the Constitution is
said to be showing most satisfactory
results in the tunnel level and in the
drifts from the shaft at depth of
200 feet.
Douglas Prepares to Ship.
From parties who have recently
visited the Douglas 1t is learned that
ore bins are being constructed pre-
raratory to the shipment of ore. There
is already quite large amount of ore
on the dump taken out in the course
of development, and a large amount
of ore is available for stopping from
both No, 2 and No, tunnels. The
raise from No. 2 to No. l is said to be
in ore Of excellent grade Another
raise is also said to have been started
from No to No. 2, making the third
made by the Anaconda company and /
four from that level, one raise having |
been made before that company took |
over the property. These develop
ments indicate that the Anaconda Is
preparing for heavy ore shipments at
tons have proved the continuity and
permanenee of the Douglas ore shoot.
1t is also learned that the company
has ordered a compressor, hoist and
pump, and that when these are in
stalled the ground will be thorough
ly explored through the shaft which
is now down $50 feet below the lower
tunnel The complicated lead zinc ore
of the Douglas responds readily to the
process of the Anaconda
