pelton wheel of horsepower horse power capacity installed and operating by development of its water power rights sufficient electricity for the mine and milling pur 1 poses can call bo be generated power is now being furnished by a sixty sity horse power oil driven compressor and horsepower borse horse steam plant when the companas comp anys hydroelectric plant is op opi i crating the steam plant will be ii used sed as a standby stand by unit the old gravity concentration milling plant of the dalton mine is being operated at capacity of tw nty tons daily by september 1 the capacity of this plant it is thought nall be increased to tons combined gravity concentration and oil flotation will give it is said a 90 per cent extraction of ore values ratio of concentration is eight to one ore is hauled from the bully boy tunnel about one half mile by tractor and teams eight lagergreen Fager green flotation machines will be installed in the mill at once to increase its capacity the new mill can call be completed underground operations at present are confined to development work as only twenty five tons of ore is needed to supply the mill from the standpoint of mining problems the bully boy is ideally located A depth of 2500 feet can be attained by tunneling drainage problems are simple and sufficient chent timber for mining purposes can be secured upon the companas comp anys property development of the property consisting of the dalton the bully boy and the Desere tand other claims aggregating 1400 acres will be undertaken from the bully boy tunnel at present a sloping depth of feet has been attained in two to three months a depth of feet will be reached by driving the adit south toward the dalton estate the vein system of the companas comp anys mine all of which have produced from shallow workings considerable rich orp ore in the past consists of a southeast and northeast series called the east veins and a southwest northeast fissure called the bully boy of the vein veil systems is quite diverse in the east vein system the ore carries silver lead about 20 per cent carbonates and SO per cent aulph ides the ore in the bully boy vein is a copper silver gold when the bully boy mines incorporated corp orated a corporation financed by new york and philadelphia men secured the property there was developed in the various mines about tons of ore with an average value of 20 to 30 to the ton exploration since that time is understood to have yielded most gratifying results in the way of opening up both high grade deposits and a nd increasing the reserves of milling millin g ore so tar far only the quartzite formation has been exploited the east vein system is a series of quaita fissures the bully boy consisting of a a hanging wall and a middle vein is in ili an adelite intrusion predominant ore values consist of silver sulphides sulp hides and iree free gold underlying the quartzite is the deer trail limestone A rich and extensive has been opened up along the underlying contact in ili the deer trail mine officials of tile the bully boy company believe that the property has its greatest potentiality at a depth not yet exploited ed to fa ciliate transportation the corn com any has spent in building a road hauling costs are reasonable charge for the upgrade trip Is 4 per ton downgrade 2 per ton the bully boy company has added new life to the camp and it promises to be a pre manent lease on life there is not an idle man to be found at the vale and the long looked tor for prosperity seems to have reached that section by the
