-.-pD lSCJ, anu was Incorporated tht !Ntl ustN
Of March. 1853. Before the Company va:
Incorporated, the claim WAS worked by tUn
mel. and also nv an incline. Neither one O
these, however. We're OF very great import
auce as 4 mining work. aud neither OF them
ever reached Il ledge. The tunnel was run
into the ruylue. a few Yards from where the
one Is AZ present being worked, entered II ;
and the incline. which was 4 few vIrds-pcr-
haps ENTHUSIASTICALLY above the new tunnel,
was run down only about 81 feet. Work APP
pears to have been carried forward on the
claim in 4 very !Hd.cISIve manner, until after
the Company became Incorporated. But this
j nothing strange. IL |, usually the case
with uuiucorrortgG mining companies which
aye carrying Oh prospecting. There is no
cheap. certain uuI rapid way O; forcing the
members to pay their propOTtlonatc shares OF
the expense, and there are always some in
the company who viii take advantage OF the
defect. Others follow their example, and it
j. not lon. before the rest become diScour-
aged or Disguised, and all operations cease,
while the cO-tcnJutS crimlnatc and re-crimi-
mute each other, and each seeks 70 rid him
self of the bla;uc, aud fa>;vR it upon his fcl-
low. This is almost universally the result of
the 0Dera,I0U ut mining company which
attempts 20 at without incorporating, and We
take It for granted that this WAS the case with
the Thomas Paine Company, and the cause OF
the rambling manner o. APPLYING the work
done, and OF 50 lizzie being done. Soon after
incorporation. II" worN on the claim was
commenced in earnest, aud has since been
prosecuted with vIEor. \ tunnel was started

running To- the lci-c which crosses above its
mouth away up the hill aud Just below the
Ophir Road. The ;gnual has now reached
the length OF 26j feet. although it
has been yuu all the way through very hard
rock. l. has not vet reached the ledge which
crops Ol,t above !; on the hill. although the
end ot the tunnel must DC uclrly or quite
under the groupings. The ledge evidently
