road.
There is little travel on this road,
and the old black bear was doing in
the middle of the dusty highway.
Suddenly the worthy pastors voice
raised in religious song. smote bruins

There is not mine in the district but
shows a greater quantity and a better
quality Of lead and zinc at their present
depth and without exception, the result
has been that the quantity and quality
Of these two are increased in the ratio
as the depth progresses. We are not
prepared to make an excuse because Of
the fact that none Of the shafts in the
district have as yet been driven to any
greater depth. But the above has
been noticed by everyone who has had
experience in the field and the reas N
we do not as yet have deeper shafts,
possibly is lack Of nerve on the part of
operators, but more probably the lack
Of funds to delve into the deep un-
foreseen. Our veins are true fssure
veins in the main and there can possi-
bly, be no mistake in the results to be
attained in the sinking Of deep shafts.
We have before contended for the
sinking Of deeper shafts and believe we
shall yet see the day when there will
be many shafts in this field 800 or 500
feet deep. Two shafts Of this depth
across the river have already each
yielded fortune and operations in the
same manner in this immediate vicinity
would produce like results. II would
reduce the experimenting and haul
ing area because a less numberof prop
critics will have to be operated TO pro-
duce given amount Of ore and il has
been suggested by some local parties
that no better work could be done for
the district than the institution and
successful execution Of a plan to induce
some company to sink a shaft to the
depth Of 500 feet or more on some well
known and defined lead such as the
Columbia, Memphis, Commodore, Tab
and other veins OF like commercial
importance.
The necessary finds for such an ex-
pertinent could be raised by popular
subscriptions among mining capitalists
raising the amount Of 5000 or $4,000
to be awarded by a committee Of ten
or fifteen 10 some company that will
guarantee to make the experiment
under their supervision. together with
their own mining expert.
