The west drif Of the Hamburg mine,
on the 250-foot level, from the main
SHAFT, has gone through the shsle and
il now in the limestone. Numerous
stringers OF ore have been mel with,
some quite large. one having been en-
countered that was Is inches in width.
A short distance further will carry the
drift to the main ore body. A contract
was let yesterday to sink the main
ahaft Q further depth of 100 feet. making
$50 feet in all. This SHAFT is an elegant
piece of workmanship, and n OF the
best in the State. Its dimensions are
SKIS feet 10 the clear. and II Is divided
into three compartments. Two will be
used for hosting ore and the third II
reserved for the pumping apparatus.
1t il substantially timbered, great care
having been expended on this part OF
the work. When the shaft attains "A
further depth Of 100 feet a connection
will be made with the 60O-foot drift
from the Friday shan. q portion OF the
mine where . rich deposit OF heavy
lead ore is known To exist. The work
men were driven out OF the chambers
by the impurity Of the air. and no
work has been done In thai section for
two months. The connection will Sc
cure good ventilation, and give the
company Q chance to extract tie galena
ores SO much needed at the furnace.
Reduction of ores will be resumed a.
soon as the mine al be put into prop
or shape.

of the latter is 81 zoo, 600, and many
persons place the amount at much

many lives were lost. but the rumors
on this point are very conflicting. 1t
is very probable that some of the work
men in the piano factory were unable
to escape, but the number is moi yet

broken out i'm the fifth story of the

workmen perIshed in the piano facto-
