nt times by mining engineers Tho ton ion ton concentrating mill mi has been completed at a cost cost of ot and pending the day that It I Is placed In commission the working force at atthe atthe atthe the mine has been reduced to sixty five men The main work In hand at toe present present pres pros ent eat time Is the sinking of ot the le Alpha Alpha shaft shat which Is now down dow to the 1145 foot mark It I Is expected that water will willbe willbe wl be encountered In quantity at about abut the 1200 foot level Enough water ater Is making no now to run rn tho the mill mm at about abut half halt capacity but It I Is not considered good oo economy to run It I that way It ItIs ItIs I Is hoped to soon have water ater enough h hIn In the shaft shaf to keep it running full ful time Ume If I th the water le level t should be deeper than Is now supposed the company will willbe willbo wi bo be b forced to bring water ater from the farm tarm twelve miles away but It I Is 15 hoped that tha t the expenses will wi be avold avoided by the Alpha developments It I would be l necessary necessary necessary I sary to raise the wat water r from Steptoe IGO 60 feet and the the estimates of cost run

on the main porphyry quartz dike which extends for a total distance of ot two and one-eighth one miles on the company's I grounds between th the estates of ot the Cumberland Cum CulT berland Ely and the Nevada Consolidated I Already tons have been placed In Insight sight and ant It Is estimated that the average overage aver aver- over over- age ago will 11 run close cose to 21 2 per cent cent Concentrating tests show that ten ton tons of o crude ore will wl make one ton of concentrates running from 20 to 23 pur put puren cent en t. t The Alpha shaft Impressed upon tho the i minds of ot all al mining men b by the tho terrible disaster which i entombed miners last win win- ter Is sunk upon an entirety entirely separate and distinct ore bearing dike 1800 feet to the be south Muth over oyer the hill hii and which runs In the same general direction as the tho quartz porphyry vein and Is not nol being de developed developed de- de eloped by an any other company In the camp I The surface showed an Immense body I of ot leached material material and the tho shaft shaH went I through soft sand for tor the thA first feet At that point iron oxides began to appear and at the 1000 level leeJ a crosscut was run mn feet teet to the north and another 1 O feet to the south both In oxidized ore At Atthe Atthe Atthe the sixty foot mark In the north crosscut the top of a solid sold oxidized ore body wa was cut showing shoeing values alues of 15 per cent and andon andon andon on this a Inze was sunk ff fifty feet lect In ore that averaged o 13 per cent cent At the foot mark of the same crosscut another ore bd body was waR cut cut and ant this proved to be twenty feet teet wide with wih an average of about 15 per cent Six carloads of material ma urn- shipped Just as It I was vas mined gave smelter returns of ot over 1 12 per cent At the toot 1000 level leeJ a diamond drill dri hole was put down feet and at ut hat bat point struck another ore bod body and It I Is to develop elop this find that the main shaft shaf i inow Is Isnow no now being sunk At At the time of ot the feet of drill dri rod rd was as lost and the management has not been able to de determine determine

east of tho main workings s. s u When hen water ster has been developed and the mines and plant are arc running full ful handed It Is expected that a force of ot between and men will wm find employment Asked as to the probable cost of manufacturing manufacturing man man- copp copper r President Giroux said that their estimates on cost COt from the quartz porphyry low grade oie ure run from 8 S cents and 9 cents Those These estimates do not take Into account the high grade ore from the Alpha AlphA shaft and Ind It I Is probable probable probable able that tho cost COt would b be reduced 2 cents cent If I these ore orA bodies boies develop elop ce In the tho way ay that present Indications point to Tho The disaster of ot last winter upset the tho plans pians of ot the management to a A great extent but everything Is now running very ver smooth smoothly and the actual manufacture of copper only waits wals development of a sufficiently largo large e now flow fow of
