around sinking shafts or driving tim

encouraging results.
Messrs. Siegle, Delvanthal & Co.

commenced it the end of June and
finished it just in time to celebrate the
Fourth, they are rock rustlers from
away back. The.Monitor is now in
on the floor $50 feet and TIC feet un-
der cover, its as we'll defined true
fissure as can be found; and has car
ried some mineral from the start. 1t
is now looking splendid and the COM
pany will probably run the tunnel in
another 100 feet in a short time. The
next 100 feet will gain depth much
faster than the last.
The tunnel on the O, Be Joyful
lode is now in IS feet. and has just
cut fine looking spar vein, but a,

as fast as possible, it is now in on the

which are we'll defined. 1t carries
galena. zinc and copper, they are now
