- l:rNITED PARA CALE MINING COMPANY United Paracale treated 8,886 tons of ore during April, from which P201,451.08 was produced. Recovered value per ton was P22.42, with an extraction of 87.17%. Development footage totalled 1,240 feet, of which 841 feet were ifl. capital and 399 feet in operating development. The Haliguing Bato road extension was completed during the month, thus permitting truck haulage from Jeff No. 6 tunnel. The construction of a new assay office building on the United Paracale property was started April 1 and finished April 16. The assay equipment was moved to the new building and the old office located in the town of Paracale was dismantled. This new arrangement will result in a considerable saving in rent and in operating expense. E. E. Elser, Inc. COCO GROVE, INC.
