Surveys for pateuting have been completed, showing that your corn- May, l'.'ui'., the mill oper- froni the Cham pion vein, on the Champion and Broa 1 vi v 1 im-;.

In this connection, it is appropri ate to txpliin that duriug the fall of 1905, a s n arc tram road, 6,000 feet in length, was constructed, connecting -No. t! Level of the Mu sick with No. t Level of the Cham pion. This tram has a maximum one per cent grade, and is operated by an electric locomotive, which hauls the ore Irom the Musick to the Champion, where it is deliv- whilo in tho Musick there have been driven feet of drift on vein, and no feet ot upraise. Owing to a large demand throughout the country, labor is scarce and uncertain, but we hope to maiutairi a sufficient force for regular operations. Under the able charge of J. A. Kade, superinten dent at the rn'mes, the conditions at the properties are highly satisfac tory. The present cost of produc tion, covering mining, transporta tion and milling, does not exceed f .l ptr ton. Progress is being made in the way of bringing the property up to a satisfactory stan ard of production, and the manage ment will continue to put forth ev ery effort to increase the output, reducing th! cost wherever possible Yours very respectfully.
