performed the duty asrigned in an excellent
manner. A similar report on Douglas

the Coos Bay road The report says
"Roseburg is not only the most central,

DESCRIPTION.

Obstacles in the way of the develop
'ment of the Teilurium ledge have been
many and various An attempt was first
made to sink a ehaft upon it. and thereby
to extract ore as the work progressed; but
at the depth of about fifty feet the plan had
to be abandoned on account of water. The
only alternative was to commence at the
foot Of te slope and drive tunnel into
the mountain which would carry off the
water, and at the same time, serve as
means of readily running ore to the mill as
well as tapping the ledge at greater
depth.
The portion of the tunnel now completed
measures 297 feet and will have to be ex
tended about 400 feet.
Until within few weeks past, it has
been cut through rock of exceeding hard
ness, rendering its progress exceedingly
slow. For many weeks, three feet per
week was fair average, though At times.

been an average run of ten feet per week.
and the highest run yet made was that OF

We have every reason TO hope that ere
