humming all the time,

with a good deal of suecess.. At
the present they have 700 feetof
work done and this winter they
cross cut the vein which was 17
feet wide with six feet of solid
shipping ore.

of one year on their lease which
gives them until August 1918 to
complete their work which is am-
ple time to make a great showing
on Nine’ Mile mountain. Last
season they opened up a good big
body of ore which is now ready
to mine, and this year they ex-

Ipect to take out a substantial

tonnage. They have every faith
in the Silver Cup-and Nine Mile
mountain and look for some biz
developments there in the near
future.
