Valley, day and night. They are di-
vided into different crews, some get
ting out ore, running tunnels etc. The
new tunnel now being run at the Old

the ledge about $50 feet below the old
works. The tunnel is expected to
reach the ledge in a few days, which,

NEVADA.
Nevada Transcript: The Reddick
Company is building a steam hosting
and pumping rig at their drift mine on
Selby Hill. A thirty horsepower boiler
has been set and the job will be COM
pleted next week.
The company ordinarily depends on
water power. but during the winter
season the Central House ditch from
which it gets water occasionally be-
comes blocked with snow and the ma
chinery is shut down. BY having Il
steam plant in reserve all likelihood Of
trouble of the kind in the future will
be obviated and the mine can be run
continuously. This will be better for
everybody concerned. 1t is a promis
ing property and much interest is felt
by our citizens in it's success.
