A Very Deep Mining Shaft.


 pany of Michigan is sinking d shaft which. when completed. will be over 5000 feet deep, making it the deepest shaft in the world" said John Dillon of Arizona at the Brown Palace. 1.-The shaft is being sunk on land adjoining the Calumet and Hecla mines, and not far from it is one 3,0O0 feet deep. These two shafts will tap the vein of the Calu- met and Hecla company at point off their land. The land belonging to the Calumet and Hecla company was orig inally patented under the timber act. This was before the copper was known to exist there. The land once being patented as timber land could not be patented as a mineral claim. The re- suit is that the copper company cannot follow the vein beyond the side lines of the timber claim. The company did not purchase all the surrounding land. not thinking anyone would sink for the vein at such distance. us it dipped at such an angle. But the Tamerack com pany did purchase the surrounding land, and is sinking for the vein. Their purchase limits the future operations of the Calumet and Hecla Mining com pany, as the ore in sight can be ex- hausted in about fifty years. and then it will have to suspent operations, as it ,annpt yo hpyop1 it's side linas aS in. land adjoining is owned by other people.
