 Pondence to Journal Miner )-MucI has been written in regard to the biz
 Poland tunnel and yet only those who have been in this great bore thrOugt
 the mountain have any definite con.
 ception of the magnitude ,of the un.
 dertaking or with what thoroughnes;
 and accuracy the work has been per
 formed. The tunnel is eight thousand and seventy feet in length and with the exception of one slight curve is absolutely straight. For a distance of about six thousand feet one can see daylight which appears as small bright star while the opening is about eight by twelve feet in dimension. This big hole through the mountain, which in its deepest point is about twelve hundred feet below the surface, was driven from toth sides of the hill and it was done with such accuracy that when the workmen met, the line i did not vary a single inch. Several rich mineral veins were cut which are now being drifted on and from which 1 the ore is being taken to supply the big Poland mill which is kept going i day and night. The company is now employing about 150 men and there is not a better paid or more satisfied lot of workmen in Arizona. Manager Jack Martin is we'll liked by his men and | his management of the property speaks for itself. Bookkeeper Fred Edwards is very popular with every one and is affable and accommodating at all times.
 The Poland American company is putting in a com mbination mill of 100 tons daily capacity. The building is now almost completed but the machin- cry which is on the road has been de- ! layed by the recent washouts. This mill when completed will be one of the most convenient and up to date plants in the county. This company is keeping a small force at work doing development work on the Fitzhugh Lee claim and altogether are using twenty five to thirty men.
 Ed Trenberth returned Saturday from a five weeks trip to the Harqua Halas where he is working his Edward E. claim which adjoins the famous Bonanza mine. He reports having a splendid showing and from two foot ledge has taken out thirty to forty tons of ore within the past thirty days which averages $40 per ton. It is a smelling proposition being a lead-gold ore but as the Arizona and Pacific survey will bring their railroad near by the property promises to become very valuable one.
 Charles J. George returned to Los Angeles Wednesday after spending some days here looking after the in terests of the Poland American com pany.
 W. A. Avery, jr., a young mining engineer from Detroit, Michigan, is recent arrival and has engaged with the Poland Mining company.
 The new Poland American mill will have two Nissen stamps and two sets of Chilean rolls. The entire plant Is being erected under the personal di- rection of Wm. c. Stanley, who fur nj shed the designs and specifications and has supplied several new ideas and installed numerous conveniences which will make the mill model for builders in many respects.
 Dr. F. c. Hudson is up from Phenix to look after the work on the Hudson Mining Go. which is located just over the divide from here and in the TUr- key Creek district. Six men are now employed in development work for this company and the doctor is very much pleased with the appearance of the property.
 E. Greenwood, general manager of the Mt. Union Consolidated, is push ing work on that property with quite a force of men. We understand that he has the frame work almost complet- ed for their mill which he expects to have running early in the new year. Much work is also being done in the way of building comfortable houses and getting camp in shape for winter. Many of our buildings are receiving attention in the way of new coats of paint and repairs to make them snug and comfortable for tbe winter months.
 The Buffalo Arizona company whose properties are located between here and Greenwood are preparing to put up new hoisting plant.
