Tamarack mine is the deepest in the
world. having attained vertical depth
OF 1910 feet. nearly a mile. Not Ear be

feet. Another deep shaft OF the Calu-
met and HeCla is the No. of the Calu-
met branch of the property. This is
down $500 feet on an incline OF mile
and a half. In view of the marvellous
efficiency Of the modern hosting cI-
CINE no considerations of mechanical
nature need limit the prospective depth
