The company at lcresnt employs between fifty and sixty men, which nuimbar will docubtless be increased as fast as opcerations will warrant. It is the intention of the manager to ticat custom ores, a poclicyv that will prove protitable to both the company and mine owners as well. The summer, thius far, has been a busy onue at the mill and maine. Mill wrights and carpenters heays been cn co-stantly at work potting in the new Imachinery. r'he tunnel and tramway constructed to cocivey ore direct to the mill from. the ore Icacly, will be fully completed in two or three weeks, while an ore house in the rear of the weill ca lpable of holding 4151 tons, is being con strueteci.

JUDTHtt MItXING ANl) MILLING Cli.. This company, the outgrowth of the Collar Mining and Improvement Co., under the supervlsiont of Eugene Smith, an experienced minter and nilneralogist, is prosecuting development in the S~kookuna (Collar) mine, running drifts and sinking shafts. 3wenty-seveni miners are now employ aid the force will he Increased as rapidly as they can he worked to advantage. From every; level and drifeore Is being taken out, miuch superior to any heretofore - posed in this property. The 21)stamp mill Is being put in repair. The engine was started last Saturday and put in working order. When the chemticals arrive, which are now en route from Judith Lanslieg, there will be no further cause for delay, in fact the mill is liable to drop stamps in a very short time. The business-like manner in which Mr. Smith is conducting the work is. satisfactory evidence that the Judlith Mining Co., composed mostly of pit. Paul capitalists, propose to thoroughly prospect their property, starting the mill as soon as sufficient ore is muined and exposed to assure a run of ninety days. srt'O'rmo tsoRAsi AtLAaTaF..
