Since the conatruction of the new
wagon road from Joe Bar to the mine
the former place la not ao active aa
formerly. The stag terminus is now
at the mine or at Eileen, the new town
that has sprung up near the mine. It
Is very likely, however, that the smel

Is the nearest smelter site. There Is a
difference in elevation of nearly 1.000
feet between Joe Bar and Blue Ledge
and this difference makes possible the
transportation of all ore by gravity
tram from the mine to the bar, a dis
tance of four miles.
