1t is expected that considerable de-
velopment on the mines in the vici-
nifty of Kingston will be done the
coming year and that large ore ship
ments will be made.
The mill on North Percha will
soon make a run on ores from the
Virginia mine, During the summer
and falf months no water could be
obtained to work the mill, but the
snow will give sufficient water for
all milling purposes.
The Franklin company is working
the largest force of miners at pres
ent, and probably the ore shipments
will increase after the first of the
year.
The saw mill on South Percha has
been erected and was already to be-
gin saving but the snow has inter-
