B. Dornberg after a: visit to the property for the first time since the early winter. What he found at that property was to him most satisfactory and there is no more Silver Cup stock for salé. First plans for o mill on the )Cup was for a. twenty-five ton plant. that is now out of the question and the smallest plant-being considered is. onc with a caprcity of forty tons per day Men are out this week scouting for mill site and awater supply sufficient for present neeils and for ao much lar. ger output. It may be that the orc will be trammed over the mountalr and down to the Bulkley River. While the above mentioned develop- ment is going on a big force of mer will be put. to work on the Nine Mile wagon road and get that highway intc shape for heavy traffie and for lots of traffic. On the upper end of the road the Department of Mines will al- low assistance for the road. work anc the company is putting up an equr’ amount, while on the lower end thi: Department of Public Works will dc the work. In this way a sufficien’ sum of money will be available anc the work will done in as quick time a: possible: to gunrantee ‘efficiency. TU to the present the company has beer laboring under a great handicap, an¢ it would be entirely out of the ques: tion to hanl the heavy mill plant ove: the road. While the mill is being put in te tak: enre of the lower grade of ore there i: no indication that. the shipments af high grade will be any less.
