mines could be worked below the water level would be to consolidate the two the two mines are connected on almost every level and if either were to operate separately below the water level it would mean the pumping of water from both and this is a pretty expensive proposition park record superintendent brig snyder stated at noon today that splendid progress is being made at the mine and that a

have the dry concentrating plant at the may day ready for a trial run by the first of the week the gentlemen have been at work for nearly six weeks making the necessary changes in the machinery and now have nearly everything ready to start up keely and keitz are very confident that the changes which they have made will enable them to handle the low grade ore from the mayday may day mine successfully and this same opinion is shared by the officials of the company compan 3 including manager darmer and superintendent howard eakin if the ore from the may day can be treated by this dry process it will certainly bring a great deal of money into the companas comp anys treasury and perhaps place the mine in the dividend paying column there are immense deposits of low grade ore in the

ninety feet below the main tunnel this shaft which is in about feet from the mouth of the tunnel has been timbered and a station is now being cut out superintendent in griggs says as soon as the new electric hoist is in place sinking will be commenced it being his intention to put the shaft down to a depth of feet mr griggs is of the opinion that by sinking a few hundred feet he can make a new mine out of the old humbug which has not been scratched below the tunnel level the advantages of having an electric hoist at a mine like the humbug can be seen at a glance the mine is located upon the side of the mountain where it is an awful task to get either coal or water both of which 4 will be unnecessary ec essary with the electrical equipment |
