spent considerable money building ore

up the mill for fotation process.
The mill will be ready for operation
in about ten days.
The Friday mine which has been
full of water for some years will
start soon. Expect to see the water
fly as soon as they can get some fit
tings for the engine.
The Granite State is another active
volcano after being on the quiet list
for some years. Mr.. Stinson is very
busy man looking after supplies for
the winter. These people have a good
prospect and we hope to see them
make good.
The Black Pearl people could not

They did not even pull the pump,
