 The marvellous mining fsat of sinking ssheft hundred and twenty three feet and timbering the same wss accom- plished in ten days aud four hours The shaft was three and hslf by six feet. Another remarkable festure is she fact that instead of a level or drift, as has been reported shat Stevens WAS buried in, it was crosscut. This be- ing so, none bus & thoroughly compe- tent man could have possibly sank to the spot with such precision without the aid of engineering instruments.
 Mir. Bolitho and MT. Stevens are old friends as we'll ss brother miners and that may, in 8 manner acconnt for the wonderful nerve that Stevens m anifest- ed in his awful predicsmene.
