In speaking of the Etna Mining Co $
new lead mine on the Looney farm one
mile north of Etna, the Galena Gazette
says:
"But the great find was struck at a
depth of So feet. Here they found 8
cave, the wealth of which is untold.
The cave is of an almost uniform width
of 20 feet and has been explored to a
distance of 4S0 feet from the shaft and
the end has not yet been reached. AT
places it is of caYernous proportions
while at other places man cannot
stand upright. Lumps of ore, thousands
of pounds in weight, are actually loose
on the aoor, while the walls at tall points
show traces of an abundance of the
precious mineral. Since the discovery
of the cave the owners of the mine have
refused an offer of $4,000"
The Etna Co., is of recent origin and
is composed of Hon. Thomas cambridge
and son, of New Diggings, IL. Looney
and G.. w. Anderson.
