LAKE VALLEY COMPANY MILL
CLOSED DOWN FOR WINTER

The plant of the Lake Valley Min
ing Company vas closed down last
Monday and the force laid of.
Weather conditions and the diff
iculty Of getting supplies to the prop
erty, as well as getting the product
of the mine TO market, are the prin-
cipal reasons for closing down at this
time. The company expects TO re-
sumo operations in the spring and
during the shutdown many improve
ments to the plant will be made. The
present plant has worked satisfaete-
rily but the management is inclined
TO the belief that by making certain
changes the output can be materially
increased. The eyaniding tanks will
be kept in operation until a general
cleanup has been made. The man.
agement has under consideration the
replacing of the present stamps with
two forty-ton ball mills. and this
change may be made before opera
lions are resumed.
