taincii in 111• • last cleanup from
tlx: .Newshoy mill was completed
last ni^lii, and loda.v the assay
gave returns of #}„06i.38. As
there were 07u l-i ounces of the
amalgam as against lit7 last time
when the cleanup went 91,700. it
is evident the amalgam was not
as dry as before.
The last run of the mill was
particularly pleasing to Manag
er Gulden, as it was practically
100 per cent belter, considering
the length of the run and the
number of tons of ore milled, j
Thus*, in the previous cleanup'
225 tons of rock yielded * 4,700
and this lime I to 3- I Ions gave
returns of Mi,601^8. The pre
vious run showed values of $20—
