the remainder oi the water in the Lin

The opening Is about twenty feet above

taken down to the bottom of the level

FROM THE MINES
The Monitor.

The Monitor.
The beginning OF the end in the IN.
watering OF this mine came IN sight last
Wednesday night when the water line
sunk below the bottom OF the station
set OF the fifth level and the work Of free.
ing the last level OF the mine oi water
began. This level contains no large
openings and the water contained there
IN IL but a. drop in the bucket compared
with what has been taken from the large
Htopes above. 1t is thought that the
water will all be out by the middle 81
next week. There is but one cage rond
IN the last lift so but one bailer can 81
used.
The last work done az this property
was during the winter of lS03'01 when
the Lamont Iron company, tie same
people that now own the Shaier and
Mansfield, dropped the shaft Il hrt of
eighty feet and opened up another level
All the drifting had been done, stopes
marked out and "A raise driven through
from each stope To the level above when
the panic came on and the mine was
closed 10 June 1894, and allowed
To I'LL with water. Thus, as soon as
the water is out and the Il, bris
cleared from the levels active mininp
work can be started at the Monitor.
The ore produced by this property Is
hard and stands well as do also the con
tanning walls OF the ore body. No tim.
Der has been used in this mine for ycnrs
AMI the ore has been taken out by the
underhand stoping process, the floors ~
some the levels being removed entirely. |
The Monitor will employ about $50 |
men when she ~ worked To her fullest
capacity and is one OF the best mining
