The mines Of the camp never were

Flake and Buckeye mills are running
and the Alpha mill will be running on
ore from the o. K. as soon as the
tramway can be changed around to the
o. X. tunnel. A number of important
mining deals are about to be closed
which will mean the starting up of
several more properties and quite a
few, more miners will be put to work.
