Dor to stTaighten its workings, after
which il is the intention to extend the
lower tunnel and cut through two other
claims. This tunnel has been run about

the main vein of the Tiewaukee. The
result Of its extension will undoubtedly
be to open up large bodies of rich ore
for which the old mine is famous. The

ing claim of the group. 1t is making
a fine showing, including a considerable
area Of shipping ore ready for stop

transfer the Tiewaukee to the list of
extensive and profitable producers, and
Will bend his energies to that end.
