Shipments From Hypotheek Yield Strong Returns
The initial carload of concentrates from the Northport smelter returned a marked load with eight ounces of Ver. A second shipment, Lot No. 2, contained concentrates not fully up to standard. The company plans two carloads weekly as the mill expands capacity and substitutes a stronger motor. Water recapture aims to sustain dry-season milling, with about 70 percent reusable. Drifting progresses at midlevel between 900 and 1100 feet, indicating a full face of ore milling. The mine has faced periodic layoffs despite regular mill operation.
