MUSG.ROVE MILL IS PROVING A SUCCESS The mill at the Musgrove mino has sliut down for a few weeks, or until the extreme cold weather moderates sufficiently suf-ficiently for further successful operation. opera-tion. Mr. Oliver Dubuis, in charge of tho mill, has sufficiently conducted his practical tests of the process by which ne is treating Musgrove ores, to demonstrate dem-onstrate beyond, question tho actual success of the treatment given and the value of tho ore, according to a ro-port ro-port in the Salmon, Idaho, Recorder. Mr. Dupuis has given close attention to these ores and conducted many experiments ex-periments to determine the best process tor saving tho values. lie has determined, deter-mined, nn'd now successfully tested, a method which saves the maximum quantity quan-tity of the gold contents with greatest great-est economy of timo and labor. There is an immonso tonnago of ore from the Mu6grovc mine already extracted ex-tracted and in the bins, in addition to tho higher grade ore ready for extraction extrac-tion when that now in thb bins is out of the way. Mino assays of this ore gives an average value of $10 to $17 per ton, the mill estimate, however, reduces re-duces tho averago to $12.50. Tho mill handles with four men about twenty tons per day. When this company begins be-gins to run its higher grado ores blocked out in tho mine, it will result in increasing the gross gold yield to fully $100,000 per annum.
