The Largest Shaft in Montana.
The largest mining shaft in Montana is
on the West Cohesa property of the Bos-

three shaft with end pieces
nine feet in the clear, and wall plates l6
feet eight inches in the clear. The shaft
is being sunk from the 800 to the 1900
foot level. Mules are to be introduced in
the mine for hauling ore to the shaft in
long distance levels. This is an innova-
ton in Butte mining, and the success of
the venture is deemed problematical by
many.

Tacoma, Jan. IA railroad building
race involving the expenditure of $4,000
900, has been commenced by two wealthy
corporations, each of which desires to own
the first railroad in the Yukon country.
Each road will be about 400 miles long,
running from Pyramid harbor, near the
head of Lynn canal, to points on Lewis
river below Five Finger rapids.
The companies back of the railroad pro-
iects are the London Exploration Company
and the Yukon Company, organized last
summer by Andrew f. Burleigh, the prin-
cipal stockholders of which are Philadel-
phia and New York men. Both corpora
tons have engineers and surveyors at
work between Pyramid harbor and the
Lewis river
The projectors of both roads figure on
an average cost of over $4,000 a mile, re-
curing an outlay of over $9,000000 for
each road. The equipment for each road
will cost about 81 100000 more. Both
companies have secured rights of way

after year, until short time ago and
they were always bright, entertaining and
clever.
