Nearing the Saratoga.

According to the engineers figures,
which are confirmed by the conditions,
the breast of the Newhouse tunnel will
encounter the great Saratoga vein with
in the next four or five shifts. Since the
first OF the present week there has been
a constantly increasing flow OF water
from the breast of the tunnel, and
Thursday large water course was cut
in the bottom left hand side OF the tun-
mel while the roof was almost dry. The
rock has been of soft character and all
eighty mineralized. 1t is believed that
another round or two OF holes in hard
rock will precede the cutting the vein.
None of the water SO far, is from the
Saratoga vein as the water may be
easily identified from the fact tina. it is
strongly impregnated with acids, and it
will quickly eat into clothes, shoes and
even iron with which it comes in contact.
1t also has noticeable effect on the hands
of the workmen.
When the vein is encountered it is be-
lieved that operations will have to be
suspended for an indefinite period on
account of the flow of water which will
pour from the breast-Idaho Springs
