The reported strike in the Sutro Tun.
mel at point about 1850 feet from the
mouth, has occasioned q good deal OF
comment in mining circles. There is
generally expressed belief that there is
some truth In the report. as mining ex.
perts have been predicting strike there
for the past two months. When the
header Of the tunnel passed shaft No. 3
without reaching an ore body, it was
believed that all immediate hopes of
reaching ore had been abandoned; but
the rock in the header, II is said. began
to improve in quality over week ago.
and it was understood among q favored
few yesterday that an ore body had been
reached yesterday morning. No one Is

As he is in Washington. the chances for
admission Of any outsider to the interior

With cinder and boulders. It's the torn BATTLE
OF the Titsns Of Saturn. Here fell the shield
Embossed in chased silver. Yonder WAS thrown
The gold headed javeline. Harkl Engine and
Behold from yon chimneys roll columns Of
The furnaces CLEAN. You may hear the stroke,
The clashing and changing Of pick and Of steel
The steel in the heart Of the ritb'd earth
And song sounds up from the deeps OF the
world:
''In the earth and underground,
Full half mile below.
Where the days may never come,
Where the nights may never go,
Where the smoky gnomes sro found
Just q level mile below
We are moleing through the ground.

Full hundred thousand strong;
You may hear our armor sound,
You may hear our bs tie. song.
There 10 clash Of pick and tine,
There Is movement in the mine.
We are marching underground.
We are lighting underground.
Now thud, q smell Of powder
Louder now, and-louder, louder
Till the deeps be deaf with sound.
We are battling with the gnomes,
We have gIipped them in their homes,
We are bleeding underground.
1--WE shall conquer underground.
We shall pillage castle. palace.
We shall plumber plate and chslice,
Where the busy gnomes abound
We shall rise with shouts Of Joy,
We shall come, like Greeks from Troy,
