chicago Heralll

The work of cutting perpendicular shaft
from the 9, 900 level of the Mexican mine in
Nevada to ., 700 level is very difficult and
dangerous The rock is bitterly hard and it
does not blast well. With all this perfect
torrent of hot water is constantly pouring

place. They must go principally by the
sense of touch-m,lst feel their way like blind
men. Not only is it impossible for the miners
to look up. but such is the force of the pour
ing cascades of water that they cannot climb
the ladders without danger of being beaten
Off AMI it has been found necessary to riy a
hosting apparatus 10y which to hoist the men
up to their work
