-- Mining Notes
Owing to surface water troubles, the Amethyst Mine has been in one bad fix after another for the past ten days.  On account of smelter restrictions their shipments have been reduced but it is expected they may be able to over come this condition when the flood water has passed.

Wade Howell is again busy driving a tunnel on one of the Bulldog mining claims.  He is in about forty feet and the intention is to drive seven hundred and fifty feet to cut the vein.  He has two men working and is looking for more miners.

One car load of high grade ore shipped this month from the Manitoba mine gave flattering returns. In the car of forty five tons a special sacked lot of three tons contained ore valued at one-thousand ninety four ounces per ton silver and fifty percent lead. The total balance better than one-hundred ounces silver per ton.
