is not affected, but stands, and is to |
stand, at least for the present. The
new owners, when they become owners,
1t is understood, will run crosscut in
the hope of discovering what will prac.
tically be a new Slide. OF course, they
have the option of going straight down
or doing anything else they please be
low the S00-foot level. The project
seems TO have its basis in the growing
belief, which has become almost set
tied conviction, that with deep mining
| Boulder county will enter upon new
era as to mining production. G. w.
Sanborn of Boulder is said to have the
] negotiations in hand for the Colorado
Springs parties.
Work was commenced last week on
the tunnel of the ARIZONA Copper Com
! pany which is designed to carry all of
the smoke, hue dust and sulphur
: fumes from the company's plant to
the crest of the mountain two hundred
feet above the town of Clifton. Two
air com pressor drills are being used
in the tunnel which is being driven
at the rate of ten feet per day aud has
now been driven about one hundred
feet. When the tunnel has reached a
sufficient length to be under the crest
of the mountain it will be raised to
the surface, aud stack erected there
on. This will free the town and the
works from fiue dust and smoke, and
will also save the company a large
amount of money which under the
present system is lost in the flue dust
and smoke.-Copper Era.
