WITH THE MILLS

Owing to an unfortunate break in a
piece Of fittings on the engine the Bert
Holland mill did not get started this
morning, but on arrival Of the part
needed they will get off al once. There
is sufficient water now to run the
three tables of the mill, and the State

needed water being amply supplied at
this time by the Huachuca Water
company. It is street talk that new
capital may start the Old Guard mill
in the event theer is water enough to
run il, and this will be determined just
as soon as the Bunker Hill Mines COM
pany determines what they need for
the Holland, State Of Maine and their

Huachuca company to get every drop
OF water into action as soon as posi-
ble," said Manager A. H. Gardner Of
the water company. in speaking Of the
