5. S. Call brought in a nugget of silver
ore from the Silent Friend mine this
week, found by him ON the surface. 1t
reminds us OF the days of S2, when Mr..

covered the source OF this rich ORE

At the rate work has been going on for
several months, the lronclad tunnel,
Sierra county, will be completed about
July |. 1t will cost about SIS 900, and is
purely venture, out of which the own
ers will get nothing if mineral is not
found, but, OH the other hand, if the tun-
mel strikes the mineral vein the question
as to the profit OF deep mining at Kings
ton will he set at rest. The end of the
tunnel will be about 700 feet below the
surface, so that the expense of hosting
will he saved on all ore taken out above
the tunnel level.

Eddy Argus: A representative OF the
Argus drove up to the big dam during the
week with Capt. Clark, business manager
for w. G. Bradbury & Co., the contractors
of the work, and was surprised to see how
rapidly the work OF construction was pro-
gessing. The main cut or water way to
the canal, cut through the solid rock, is
more thar half finished. The crews are
working from both ends. The base of
the dam, built on bedrock, is 70 feet wide.
1t will be As feet high and II feet vide at
the top. There will BIZ solid bank OF
earth rs feet wide extending the entire
length of the dam, resting on the rocks on
the inside. This will prevent the water
from percorating or seaping through.
Work Oh the west side is being pushed
ahead at rapid rate. The current and
the volume of the river is pushed ahead
of the rock workers from the east end,
and is cutting the east bank down to bed
rock much fuster than almost any num-
Der Of men could do. There are some 200
men and sixty teams employed on the
mammoth work, and it is expected that
the water will be turned in about March /.
