Conditions around the mill are now getting back to normal following the ecer.t frecass-up. The discouragement this department consists of continued dilay tn the arrival of the elevator con nected with the new rolls added to the plant. Shortly after the mill was sent Into cperatkm It was found that the crushing machinery was not sufficiently complete to handle the ore economically and It tas decided to Install additional rolls. These have been on hand for some time, but the elevator to convey the ore to the rolls has not yet arrived and two weeks of tracing baa failed to locate the car on any of the railroads. Apart from this, Mr. Duthle said he had every reason to feel well satisfied with -the mine's production and with the results of new development work carried on at the mine. 40. wi;atiii:u itEPouT.
