Other Mines in the County But
the Hope is for Dec. /

The work OF pouring concrete on tho
foundation for the new engine honse
az the Tobin mine was started dnrinc
the week and is being pushed as rap-
idly as possible. The excellent weather
which has prevailed has facilitated
the work very much There Is only a
limited force OF men employed on the
work, conditions being such that no
great number Of men can be EMPLOYED
The plan is for an entire new equip-
ment at the property which Will caal
for the employment OF many men when
weather conditions are such that the
work can be pushed. 1t is understood
that almost all OF the material and
supplies necessary to equip the prop
erty are now on the ground.
Hustling at The Odgers
AT the Odgers mine there Is lively
work being done getting the mine
ready for production through the new
shaft. The surface work Is employing

for the installation OF the machinery
when the conditions are best for re- |
inoyal.
The work underground consists
mainly in opening up the new level as
1t was left when the mine closed last
spring. The drifts are not being ex-
tended and probably will not be until
the raises and subs are all cut out in
the block OF ore opened up.

lated already, all OF 1t from the drifts
and raises. Mining will not start until
The new shaft is ready to handle the /
product

rate upon getting the underground
pocket and crusher ready. This work
