A‘ugrinon the company has installed a most com- plate and up-to-date mining plant and developed a large tonnage of ore at a comparatively lower cost than has been the usual thing in this camp. A number of the directors and stockholders recently visited the mine and so satisfactory was their re- port at the special meeting of the stockholders called on their return to Montreal that $30,000 worth of treasury stock was immediately tak- en up and this amount of money placed in the treasury for the con- strtwtion of a milling plant. The ground is now being prepared for the foundations of the mill which will consist of crusher, 10 stamps and tube mill, with a capaâ€" city of 100 tons per 'day. Sufficient ore of an average grade of $16.00 per ton. is now in sight to feed the mill for a year. and with the present. equipment developments for future requirements can be kept well ahead.
