Ajax mine to be bonded for one million dollars
A. J. Noyes says the Ajax mine will be bonded for at least a million dollars with about 600,000 shares to be issued for development. Recent 17-day run yielded a $2,400 clean-up, the best yet, while ore and concentrates valued into thousands move through the mill high in the Rockies near Swamp Creek. The project plans include a 7,000 foot tramway and expanded mill facilities, with spring work reviving employment after winter slowdowns.
