mi TO BIG JIG MINE;
ORE WILL BE SHIPPED OUT
II. \V. Vance, manager of the BIk
1 hiug mine near Caribou, arrived In
town yesterday afternoon and left on
the Princess Royal for Seattle whore
he goes to buy forty pack burros to
be used in the eonstruction of a tram
way from the Dig Thing mine to Car
' lbou.
"Tlie tramway will cost $1 10.000,"!
said Mr. Vance yesterday, "and it
may be completed by late this fall.
| We are now working forty men at I
the mine and I will put ninety to;
work as soon as I return from Seattle'
Tlie tramway will be pushed vigorous
I 'y.
j "As soon as the tramway is i oin- '
pleted we will start to ship out 200
tons of ore a day. I am not prepared
to say how high our ore will run, but
we have a splendid mine and we can
make a profit on ore shipped to the
south."
The Big Thins mine is generally
conceded to be a remarkably rich
mine with a grade of ore that can be
mined at a profit even after the
freight rates are paid necessary to
ship it to the smelter. Undoubtedly
the owners of the Big Thins have an
understanding with the White Pans
railroad in regard to rates and it
looks as if this would be the begin
ning of an era of development of the
mines along the White Pass route.
