Tne superintendent, Mr. Torguion, told -ino ha ceuldnol run the mine without tha mill, and the cost of mining aud handling tho Bully lloy A Wabttrr nrei, was much greater than It Is with us In working the Ilrauoh, With rtich n large amount of ora alrealy In 'sight, and which, as the work of if plorallon and development advances, will prove to be Immsme In the extensive exten-sive properties own-1 by thocotnpany, II should ntlbe dllUctilt to ratio itiipie funds to prosecute the work and to irect a largo plant, cipslls of working fifty or sixty tons a day, with which, lu a fow uionthi' run alier starting, a dividend of two or tnreo cent n m intti ou every aharu of stock could be de dared. I have had twenty seven years practical uxperlonoe In uilnlug, and a hi knowu by a number of mining men lu Halt hake Clly,U'rk City an J Illnghani, and I stake my reputation aaa miner on the cirnctiiem uf this ataleuisut, every Item of whlcu I stand ready to Verify ti the satisfaction of any expert thu compiny may cbooie to UJ down to axauilns the proper. tlo.

Very reepeolfully yours, U. O. TATr, Mining Hupt. of the Dsisrat O. & ti. M. A. M. Co. After raiding the above roport from Bupt.

I will add tnat the velu of ore In Ihe main tunnelal thsllranch, whloh Is a true tiiiuro, can bo f jllowe I aavaally at ono of tho streets of Halt lisle, and that I have known lots ol properties not nearly as valuable us the llraoch alone, sell lor a million dollars. It Is alio my esnjuloe opinion that very soon alter theerrctlou of a suitable plant for reducing the ores these minis can bs made to pay a handsome dividend divi-dend on Ihe capital Intuited. 1 would say, by all means put la a Plant.
