It may be interesting to know that the last 235 feet of the shaft,which was 6 by 14 feet inside timbers, was raised and timbered with the regular10 by 10-inch sets placed at 5-foot centres in 221^ days of two ten-hour shifts. The crusher was moved from the old to the new location at the top of the hill. Thehoist was moved 300 feet farther south and 75 feet higher. A belt conveyor, 240 feetlong, was installed to carry the crushed ore from the crusher to the ore bin on the sideof the hill. The ore is carried by gravity

A belt conveyor, 240 feetlong, was installed to carry the crushed ore from the crusher to the ore bin on the sideof the hill. The ore is carried by gravity from the belt conveyor to the railroad cars. Ore was mined on the sixth and seventh levels. On the former the pillars wererobbed, but the greater part of the ore was won from the fall above the sixth level underthe open pit. This ore comes principally from the pillars that collapsed on the third,fourth and fifth levels in 1911. All the ore from these pillars cannot be saved, becauseit is badly mixed with pyrite. 126 Bureau of Mines No. 4. General View of New Plant at Helen Mine
