hItdullN as
We concluded las we had an inV'tatioh
from the Superintendent to visit the mine)
10 90 over and sec what was the cause OF
the rise in the stock. So at about two
o'clock p. NJ, we presented ourself at the
Office of the company, and made BUSH
ness acknowledgment a wardrobe was
furnished us by the ge~ntlemanly Superin-
,enden,. which was adapted to the peril
Gus trip we were about to embark on, and
he being very busy, put us in charge Of
MIR. W. II. Smith. Foreman Of the mine,
and away we went. In a few moments
the tub. on which we were to balance our-
selves on the edge, vas dangling around
over a three hundred foot shaft in waiting
for its precious load Of freight. Nothing
daunted, we showed ourself a hero, for
once, and planted ourself on the bucket
rim. Smith winked, and the breakmsn
let so all holds, and away we sunk. One
thing is certain, if the bucket should have
broken loose, for one. we would not have
gone down-for, undoubtedly. our finger
prints are still in that rope. Finally the
bottom was reached, and now the expla-
nations commenced. Our landing wason
the lower level, 800 feet from the surface.
From this point we c in a southeriy
direction for some distance. then bore
west, where we struck what ia known as
the from, ledge. This is a large ledge Of
white quartz and contains more or less
good ore, bu, is spotted and will not at
the present time pay for working. unless
it is closely selected many places in 1t.
however, shows excellent ore, especially
where it was first struck by the main drift
tina, runs to the back ledge. At this point
there seems to be a chimney. as drifts have
been run on the ledge in both directions
without finding any other deposits near as
rich or extensive as where the ledge was
tirs, tapped. The company design work
ing up al this point, and It Is thought that
u large amount Of excellent ore will be OBJ
tanned between the $50 and 800 footlevels.
Leaving this ledge and proceeding toward
the back ledge, we noticed a small spur
or feeder, about u foot wide, pitching with
a very sharp angle toward the main or
back ledge. and would intersect it at about
sixty feet below the present level. This
small ledge is exceedingly rich. showing
that the main ledge at sixty feet below the
present level mus, also be rich. or il would
no, send out such feeders. From this
small ledge 10 the main ledge the ground
seems cut up with small lodges, all of
which show more or less good metal.
FINAL we reachep the back or man ledge;
here we found quite a large lot OF men at
work-some picking, some shoveling, and
Others putting in timbers. The opening
in the ledge al this place is about as fol-
lows: Across the ledge, 80 feet; on the
ledge. in line with il. 10 feet; then there
is a drift running south some 65 feet. and
one north 10 feet, which will be continued
to the Kentuck line. For the whole dis
lance. both north and south, the ore looks
exactly like that where the men are at
work az the present time. As regards the
ore in this level, We do not wish TO eS-
aggerate, but will say that the paying ore
is very generally difFused through the
rock, and a wider vein or a better class OF
ore we have never seen at any place; in
fact, some OF it is extremely rich. One
glance at the immense body Of rich ore
explained TO US the cause Of the rise in
Crown Point stock. After satisfying our
self of the extent and richness Of the lower
lGNel. anu cCSuEAIs eOAAC sPiSAAAA oPSr'-
mems. we were led up through a winZe,
and compelled to force ourself between
,imbers not more than SIN inches apart, at
the same time holding on with our eye
lashes but fortune favors the brave"
and we at length safely arrived at the
go foot-level-IO feet above where we
started from. Here we were led through
any number of drifts running in as many
d..erent directions as pig-paths in a Wes-
t...i'ds,ate. On this level the ledge was
quite small, an ordinary drift taking out
al! the pay metal in the greater portion OF
il. From the drift on the main ledge in
this level there are three wines sunk to the
lower level-one at or near the Kentucky |
line, another south So feet, and another
still south Of the last mentioned Ito feet.
The rock that is sloped down falls down
the wines, and the good is thrown into
a shute, and the refuse is shoveled back
for filling in. The principle on which it
is worked is certainly an excellent one.
All the opening made by ore extracted is
filled in, excepting on drift or tunnel for
the passage Of cars. and that, too, without
having TO hoist any rock up or even to
remove but little Of it. The company are
at the present time working in the NINE
fifty miners. and are taking out consider
able ore. \ few days since there was
hoisted from one shaft alone, in ten hours,
260 tubs Of ore, OF an average weight OF
6l0 pounds to the tub. which would make
70 tons and 600 pounds, which is pretty
good for the hosting capacity OF one
shaft. The prospects of the Crown Point
mine to-day are most fattering, and be-
fore February shall close we are satisfied
il will reach a much higher figure than
ever before, providing actual merit gives
a claim standing. Allow US in conclu-
sion to return to both the Superintendent
and Foreman our sincere thanks for at
tentions.
Row AMONG THE CELEsTIALs.-Yester-
day, some Of the Johns in Chinatown got on
