Mining operations at the Gold Mint mine of the Marion-Twin Min ing company on Little Susitna river in the Willow creek district, are pro- gressing steadily, according to War ren Fenton, mineral surveyor. The five-stamp mill is operating twelve hours daily and splendid progress Is being made in extending the work ings. If it was not for the lack of water, MT Fenton says, enough ore is in sight to keep the mill working day and night. The old Hatcher drift has been extended and now eX- tends PTS feet into the mountain, in addition to which there are three raises of thirty feet each, all in good ore. The ore body ranges from two to three feet in thickness, and while it appears to have pinched down at the face Mir. Fenton expresses con- fidence that it will widen out again shortly. The lead has been traced for a considerable distance beyond the end of the present workings, out croppings having been noted by Mir. Fenton at a distance of at least 400 feet. The company has a crew of 15 men at work on the property at present, but only five are working in the mine. Besides the crew at the mine, the company has a force of men moving new equipment to its properties on Craigie creek, where extensive operations will be carried on next season.
