 when the main quartz leads are de- veloped, she may astonish the world with her output.

 Hon. E. E. Schermerhorn. of Ga lena, Kansas. spent few days here during the past week, looking over mining property in which he is inter- ested with Frank Weaver and others He made q thorough examination of all the work done since his last visit, and Vas well pleased with results. It is the intention of Mr. SchermerhOrn and associates to continue driving their tunnel several thousand feet. which will CrO-s-cut several large leads running through their claims Heretofore considerable surface work ] has been done on the leads. but this will now be abandoned and all work confined to driving the tuCnel, which l will give the greatest depth by sev- eral hundred feet of any tunnel in ] that section Of the district. and when | completed will afford d new outlet to l the river for the various mines of the | camp. The tunnel is now making con siderable water, which is increasing ! with development. It is expected . that by the time the tunnel has cross l cut the Weaver claims it will afford . ample water for a concentrator. which ! could be placed at the mouth of the tunnel and the tailings stored in the canyon for many years.
