MINING NOTES

A new shaft will be started soon at
the Redskin mine, northwest Of
Treece, Kan. It will be put down about
$50 feet from the present mill shaft,
and will tap the ore run that has been
dipping from the present workings.
Operation of the Redskin has just
gone back under the management OF
E. B. Edes Of Joplin, formerly Of the
Edes-R Rich Machinery Company. Last
winter Mr.. Edes had the "flu," and it
went into pneumonia, and he came
near quitting the mining game for
good and all, but finally pulled
through. He was scarcely well, how
ever, until his wife became danger
Ously i'll, and he could not or would
not leave with her in that condition,
80 It was only five days ago that he
got back to the Redskin property.
The mine looks just as good to him
now as 1t ever did, which is saying q
good deal. In the five days that he
has been back the dirt has been run
ming between 11.96 per cent recovery
and 14.27, which is pretty good dirt
II showed approximately this high re-
covery in early operations at the mine
which is considered one Of the good
ones of the field.
Operations are conducted at depth
of about $50 feet, but the dipping OF
the ore is going to necessitate deeper
working than this. The water head
however, is not heavy, and apparently
is not connected with the stiff run
that has made life miserable down
around the BroOmcOn mine, q short
distance to the east.
The Redskin mill is Of approximate
ly 800 tons capacity, and is one Of the
good plants Of the Baxter-TFeece
camp.
