bs here after called) would be conducive
to our health. accordingly. with three
others in rockaway, we paid our first
visit to Royal City and that mine. After
atwo-hour's ride over the road we ar.
rived at the mine, paying our first at
,eu,ion to it as the prominent feature OF
the district. We found no work was
going on in the upper incline that day,
Int in the lower cut tunnel has been
commenced, which is 10 run and con-
nee. with the upper incline at q depth of
probably Is feet. Twenty men are OF
work under the charge OF Wm, Nc.

mence building shute for the purpose
of running the ore down to level por-
ton of the road, where teams will have
no trouble in loading up with ore. A
house for the use OF the company will
also be built, and other improvements
made as, rapidly as possible. A view OF
the mine, aud ore in the sans. showed
that E pofts had not exaggerated parti-
the grand display it makes; it Is simply
astonishing and wonderful, and hard TO
credit without being seen. We are in.

sacked up around the mine, there being
over 20 tons of first-class ore.
