The decrease in the cost of
stopping from $1.73 to $1.33 pc
ton was due to the abandonment,
late in the year, of the square-sct
system. on ccoun of the ex-
haustion of the Slopes requiring
that method. and the adoption of a
mCdIfied shrinkage system in the
stores near surface which, as pre-
vicusly mentioned. furnished near

cost of mining for the year, includ-
ing development. was: s1.56 per ton
of ore mined. or s1.23 per ton OF
ore and waste mined.

food. Injury to sprouting corn is the
most frequent complaint against this

justitiable.
