The Pittsburg Pot-, ash Mining company is opening up large deposits of alunite and a big mill is to be erected at once. For months a force of twenty-five men has been at work blocking out ore and preparing the ground for extensive exten-sive operations. The millsite is in the canyon close to the railroad track, and a station named Pittsburg will be instituted. Oscar Allred of Salina has secured the boarding house concessions and will maintain a first class place for the workmen. The force will be increased in-creased to fifty or more men. The boarding house and other buildings are ideally situated in a beautiful grove of trees at the mouth of Deer creek and there are excellent meadow mead-ow surroundings with grand old mountains for a background. Most of the mill machinery is now on the grounds, and the erection of suitable buildings and the installation installa-tion of machinery is being rushed. The mill will be in operation and potash and other products will be on the market before snow flies.
