Hill. between the Europa aud Sullivan
mines. A tunnel was run into Il by the
first locators, in a northwsstsrly dirsc.
ton. following the west wall OF the
ledge about 800 feet. At an eligible
point they attempted to cross.cut
through the ledge. but as soon ~ they
got fairly through the west wall they
tapped q heavy How OF water and bad
working ground. which obliged them to
quit work. Subsequently . little work
was done on Il at times, as the ledge as
