The Hancock Copper Journal prints
letter from w. b. Carlyle, superin-
tendent Of the Rio T.nto mines in
Spain, aud formerly in this country,
written to an American friend: "This
is monster. There are $4,000, 80
tons of ore in sight, of which we must
extract 100000 tons this year. We
have a very good railroad 375 miles
long, with 80 locomotives on the main
line and 30 at the mine, and this year
we will handle so 5000 tons of ore
There are very extensive underground
works. The other day down on the
l,21l foot level.'I was shown a solid
body of ore 600 feet wide. There are
10000 Spaniards at work. We only pay
here from 80 cents to s. cents per day.
Quite an excitement prevails at
Lamb City, near Dos Cabezas, says a
writer in the Range News, owing to a
rich strike of gold bearing quartz
found on the Emmerely claim day or
two ago. The assay shows for the en-.
tire ledge value of over lbs to the
ton. A steak iu the open cut at a depth
of about feet aud about six inches
wide shows an assay of 1858 gold. A
force of men will be put on this week
and car Of this ore shipped which is
believed will show up satisfactory
values. The naked eye can see the
free gold, and from this cut old man
Emmersley is said to have taken sew
eral tons of ore which netted him over

The one perpendicllar shaft in the
Calumet runs down distance OF
three quarters of mile. The sinking
Of this shaft was the greatest piece of
modern engineering known, says the
Western Mining World. The manage
ment figured that IL the copper vein
dipped at an angle of 43 degrees from
the surface and kept it for a great
distance down, it would certainly be
caught by running straight down from
the surface il shaft we're sunk dis
lance from the others. This was done
and after three years OF sinking and
encountering nothing but earth, the
copper was struck. The miners work
ing from drift in the perpendicular
shaft and those working from the 9TH
