up 40 feet and on level with IN.
'oo foot tunnel that tapped the vein

tunnel OF the upper works, and i,
within twenty five feet of that tunnel

Will be made in eight or ten davs,

ing up. The distance to surface from
the point where this crosscut will con.
meet with old tunnel is about so feet
The distance from the raise to the old
chute is 800 feet. A drift will be
run west from a point within 80 feet
of top of raise, and will be extended
3O0 feet. Work will also be contin-
ued west in the lower tunnel, which
Is now in 1900 feet. This mine in
early days produced 100000, and
was worked only to an average depth
OF 70 feet and 200 feet in length, and
good ore was left in the bottom.
These old works have now about all
gone to wreck. Those acquainted
with the history of this mine, and
who worked in 1t, are confident that
1t will soon again be one of the best
producers in the Territory. 1t is
possible that good ore will be struck
in the drift to be run from point so
feet from top of raise, before the old
chute is reached, but it is certain that
good rock will be found by running
300 feet. Jo Poncho, the Foreman,
who has worked for many years in the
Elkhorn mine, feels confident that it
is one among the best mines of the
Territory. Ten men are now EN-.
ployed in the mine.

THE SPINELEss GIRL.

There is girl in Worcester, Mass,
who can sleep only with her body
bent backward into a circle and her
feet crossed under her chin. This
may seem Incredible, but it is abso-
lutely true. The girl is now eleven
years old. When she was four she
had an attack of cerebro-spi men,
ingetis, which left her spine as limp
as piece of rope. She can stand
erect only by taking hold of some
thing higher than her head. She is
Alvina Goodnow, the daughter of a
French iron moulder, living at 20
Central street.
When reporter saw the girl a
day or two ago she was crawling and
wriggling about on the kitchen floor
of the tenement where her parents
live. AS she twisted her head
from side to side, her black eyes and
her constant undulations fairly made
one feel that he was looking at hu-
man snake. The girl is intelligent
and has full possession Of her mental
faculties. She speaks English and
French with equal facility, and her
mother claims that she is as bright as
the average girl of her age.
"Show the gentleman how you
sleep, Alviaa," said the mother. The
girl, rising to her feet, bent her body
backward, and without an effort rest
ed her head on the floor and crossed
her feet under her chin. This was
repeated several times, and then, as
further exhibition of her elastic an
atomy, she lay fiat on her face and
easily touched her ears with her toes
Then, considering the interview
closed, she began to devour hugs
plate of meal bread, and in few
minutes had tucked away in her am
Pile frame enough food to supply 4
workingman with days rations.
Mrs. Goodnow could give no ex
planation of the strange physical con
dition of her daughter, other than tina
which has been mentioned above
The best doctors of the city have ex
amined her and have been obliged tt
confess that it is phenomenal cas-
and one in which they can offer n
relief. Last summer Alvina was tax
en- to the hospital and before a clini
of doctors was photographed in tn
position she assumes, and the case wa
decided as one of the most remark
able cases known in medical history
: Although careful examination of tn
child's body was made, not mark c
: blemish could be found upon it.
When questioned Alvina said th'
the various contortions she wsr
through occasioned her no pain, an
r that, in fact, the only position
which she could sleep comfortabl
