tention about three years ago. 1t is
separated from the Aultman by
small porphyry dyke. The late A.
r. Watson was the original locator,
and through his energy the mine was
opened and developed. While Mr..
Watson operated the mine about fifteen
hundred feet of tunnels, drifts aad open
ings were made. The ledge was stripped
and exposed on the west ei.d Of the mine
for distance OF three hundred feet which
showed the ledge TO be very large One OF
the principal OPENINGS, the one Leading to
| what is known As the cave, is reached
| through tunnel sixty feet in length, at
which point cave was encountered and
! the ore vein was also reached From ibis
point an incline forty-liVe feet in depth
! was sunk At the bottom Of the incline
! drift was driven one hundred and twenty
| five feet to the east, and also another thir-
! ty-iiYe feet to The north Several croSS-cutS
were made at different places, all OF which
are in ore Of good grade. To the west Of
| the work in the cave are other extensive
works, in which large amount OF drifting
| and sinking has been done and oaanuty
of good ore was exposed. 4 great many
| tons Of ore were milled from this portion
of the mine With fair results From
stat1nent OF facts recording the joana
