he Elmira company to run a tunnel on
he Wolverine ledge, east extension of the
Crown Point, struck six or eight inch
vein Of pay ore the other day, after run
ming seventeen feet. The vein is four feet

made about fifty feet from the line Of the
Crown Point, and at TIE depth of three
hundred feet. The Elmira company three
or tour years ago ran drift fifty or sixty
feet east from the main tunnel of the

900. Eleven hundred tons of ore were put
through the mill, so it went little

they drifted was nothing more than bar
rem spot in the ledge, and that by running
ahead pay ore would be reached, and that
belief has been verified
