MORNING..

After a shutdown of about two
months the Morning mine at Mullan
started up last Monday, Early in
December it was found necessary to
suspend operations in order to make
repairs in the shaft which had been
forced out of alignment by swelling
ground. The work required more time
than at first anticipated. A large num-
Der of men reported for work Monday
and the force has been increased at
the rate of about SO men day, and 1t
is estimated that within week the
mine and mill will be running with a
normal force of about 600 men. The
mill began running yesterday with a
full complement. During the shutdown
much outside work was accomplished,
including construction work on the
new dry and change building, con-
structing a conveyor to carry crude
ore from the sorting plant to the bins
and the installation of new track
scales. The resumption Of operations
at the Morning was welcome news to
the people of Mullan and indirectly to
the people of the entire district.
