The Daly-West is to pay the Ontario

that if ever the DAILY West needs to
mine through the tunnel it shall have
the privilege. When it is known that
Il costs the Ontario and Daily compa-
MES i'll the neighbOrhood Of $4,000 per
Year TO keep that avenue open and in
repair, and that it cost 81, 0OO, 900 to
build it; when it is known that the ex-

Manager Jacob Z. Bamberger Of the
ealy-West has been working quietly
OH the proposition for two or three
years. That he has been successful in
such a marked degree can be attrib-
uted TO his perseverance and friendly
relations with the men and interests in
control of the companies with which
he has had 70 deal, and an earnest de-
sire on his part 10 promote the best
interests of his company. The closing
Of the deal was a mastery stroke of
business, masLerfully carried through,
and il entities him to the everlasting
gratitude Of the shareholders in his

Work to Begin at Once.
The work of advancing the tun-
mel said Manager Bamberger during
the afternoon, will be commenced
without delay by Manager G. l.. Rood
Of the Ontario and Daily companies. L
understand that there is between zoo
and 500 feet to run to reach the west
ern limits Of DAILY ground. When that
point is reached we shall take up the
work i'm our own ground. AT what
point We shall enter our own vein will
he governed by conditions as we find
them. Under our contract we are not
expected 10 do work that will prove
particularly advantageous to other
properties. Ii would not be fair to the
Ontario and DAILY. and il would not be
ran TO our own company TO DO So We
shall eventually connect up with our
present shaft workings, but whether
we shall run direct for the shaft and
crOss-cUt to the vein or open the vein
first and later connect with the shaft,

To be completed though there is no
particular need Of finishing it up so
soon, as we can run along for three

going below the 1,5O0 level.
An Eye to the Future.
What means will he employed i'm
handling trains through the four miles
or more Of tunnel is a subject that will
receive attention later. but I presume
that electric or oil locomotives will be
brought into use 1t will be many
years. most probably. before the DAILY
West company will either need or want
10 mine through the tunnel, but when
the time does arrive, it will be in a
position 10 send its ore out TO the
mouth of the tunnel and reduce il at
That point. The tunnel cuts the On
tario mine 1500 feet deep; it viii cut
under the Daly-West shaft at verti-
al depth OF 2.100 feet. It means a long
life to our mine; l am glad the bust
ness has been finally disposed Of The
Ontario and DAILY companies have been
very fair and L appreciate it,
