mount Of work done on this claim wolfe
tase up more space Than We can afford
Suffice II 10 say that the mine il opened NJ
by three long tunnels, about fifty feet above

winzes- shafts, etc. Tho mair
| shaft is down shout 80 fs~t, bat the WORK
Of sinking had tt;be discontinued on aceoun,
II water. Most II the upper workings have
besn stoped out by former owners, whc
rellizsd about $4,000 from them. Mr..
Canty has recently commenced work Oh
this mine and has several men engaged in
cleaning oat the old tnnnels and Slopes,
which require considerable timbering. In
the old workings considerable good ore re-
msins which will mill from 500 TO 500 and
which would not pay TO take out in the old
days when the mill took pretty nearly every
thing below $50. OF course Mr.. Canty
intends TO have this all taken out at once,
and has alreldy leased portions Of the m.ne
10 different parties for that purpose. He
also coBtemplstes having sii the old dumps
sorted over, as considerable ore that will

Of $50 TO the ton, and he has nov on the
dump about fifteen OF twenty tons whicb
