Show CANON CITY, COLO. Extensive improvements are projected project-ed at the Terrible mine, at Use, among the most noteworthy being a new 300-ton 300-ton mill. The stamps and other machinery ma-chinery are now being transferred to freighters' wagons at Rockvale, the nearest rail point to the mine. Lack of water is the reason assigned for not giving the mill twice the capacity it will have. It is claimed the mine, which is the greatest chrysolite-lead producer in the ccuntry, would output 1,000 tons of ore per day as easily as 300. At present only twenty-seven men are employed on the mine, but as soon as the new stamps begin to drop the working force will be increased to 160 men. Thursday was payday at the mine, and. as an underground miner expressed ex-pressed it: 'The hammers went up and the'ehecks came down." Mr. Lawrence 1 jc. in charge of the mine temporarily, General Manager Brooks being in Denver Den-ver purchasing machinery. |
