THE VENANGC.

Ere another week rolls around the
news will be broadcast of the cutting
of the Venango vein in the lower tun-.
mel, which will be at distance deeper
from the surface than any other mine
in camp-some over 800 feet. Mr..
Copley has run the tunnel now farther
than he expected when he started it
last fall. In the upper workings last
fall the vein was inclined to dip out of
the hill, and when he made a calcula-
ton of how many feet he would have
to run in order to cut the vein in the
lower tunnel, he made an allowance
for the dip, which of course was to-
ward the working of the tunnel. This
winters work in the upper workings
shows the vein to have righted up or
if there be any dip it is now dipping
in the hill, which are strong indica-
tions. The tunnel is now about under
the apex of the vein, and it certainly
will be struck before many feet, for
the dip cannot be much in the distance.

LATEST REPORT FROM THE
PICK AND SHOVEL.

The future aspect for our camp Is
far more encouraging than it was at
this season last year. While the large
amount of snow, which falls in these
mountains, works as an impeachment
to those who do not make prepara-
tions to work their property before
the snow comes, those who did prepare
for work last fall are reaping good
results, which has q tendency to make
others restless, who cannot get to their
claims, without an enormous expense,
owing to the snow. However, from
the present outlook we predict that
our season will open at least four
weeks earlier this year than last, all
owing to our not having as much snow
by three feet as we had last. Already
our cid timers are beginning to return
and there is hardly day passes but
what we have an opportunity to shake
the hand of some of our citizens, who
have been spending the winter east
among their families and friends. No
doubt, while they have been enjoying
a good time, bat we dare say, at the
same they have been trying to induce
some of their friends to either come
here orat least help them out in deyel-
oping their claims. While some have
been unsuccessful others have succeed
ed and we may look for large influx
of people this summer. In our rounds
this week we find the following news
with reference to the Developments in
our camp, on those claims that are
now being worked:
THE BULLION KING.
The incline shaft on this mine is
about us feet deep. At depth of
o5 feet levels were started on the vein,
running nearly north and south. The
north drift is about sixty feet long and
in this one sup't. Ropell is Stopping
and taking out mcvery rich mineral.
The south drift is about ninety feet
long, also working in good ore. There
are only about ten men at work now.
but the force will probably be IN
creased early this spring.
THE RUBY CHIEF.
There is no apparent change in this
mine. 1t is still producing the same
class of rich GRE that it has been doing
ever since the ninety foot levels were
started. The raise that was started
sometime ago in the west level to cut
the tunnel sixty feet above, nas been
punched through. 1t is intended for
an air shaft only, but in the whole
sixty feet they encountered rich min
eral. The sampling works have been
crushing some of their ore during the
last week.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1882-03-09

THE SANDWICH.
This property shut down a week
ago as Mr.. Sturgeon wanted to 60 to
Colorado Springs. He will return in
a week and resume work. This mine
has been worked all winter and in the
tunnel there has been one lead cut,
and the last days work done showed
ruby silver IN the crystalued quartz
and spar taken out.
