THE D0AME
RAMBLER
Promises 10 Become the Richest
Mine in the Great Copper
District
HAS TUNNEL 1000 FEET LONG
Developing Two Large Bodies Of Ore
Splendid Plant Of Machinery-A
Very Bright Future for Old Mine

To one who has not visited
Rambler, or the "Doane Mime"
in the past two years or eighteen
months, a surprise is in store for
him. While the majority of peo-
pie have believed hat the old
Doane would, with proper devel-
opment. prove to be a proposition
that would justify a large expen-
diture of money, they little realize
what has taken place underground
in this old mine in the past eigh-
teen months.
He will see, were he to visit the
property, that the old workings
have been abandoned, SO far as
surface indications are concerned,
and that instead, a new idea has
come into this camp to develop it
along mining lines. His attention
will no doubt be attracted first of
all, to the buildings down the hill
from the old workings, where he
will find, were he to enter. a plant
of machinery that will surprise
eve the most optimistic person.
This machinery is located at the
mouth of what is termed the lever
tunnel, and consists of a battery
OF boilers, a Norwalk air compress
sor, a well equipped blacksmith
shop, and a we'll lighted timber
room, together with a changing
room for the accommodation of
the miners
The tunnel is a thousand feet
in length and connects with the
old shaft at a depth of 125 feet be-
low the upper tunnel level. While
driving this tunnel to connect
with the shaft, a body of nigh
grade ore was encountered in what
was afterwards called the July
vein, on account of its having been
discovered in July.
This ore is as rich perhaps, as
any taken from the mine in guam
tity, as later development has
proven. One is given an oppor-
tunity to see it in place if they
will but look down into the bot
tom of tunnel, for all it requires
is a candlestick and a sack into
which to put the ore, after you
have gouged it out with your can
die stick. This ore is a powder,
so to speak, for it has the appear
ance of having been ground up at
one time and filled in some crevice,
where the water has been allowed
to perculate through it, and
caused it to become somewhat
compact. 1t is of a blue-black
appearance and occasionally there.
Is found some solid pieces of ore
with the chalcopyrite unaltered.
After reaching the shaft a two
compartment shaft was sunk,
which at the present time is below
the 800 level. A station was cut
here before the shaft was sunk so
that the hoist could be placed near
the shaft. This station is IS feet
long, Is feet wide and 30 feet
high. 1t has been well timbered
and makes a fine engine room,
Ihe ore and waste rock as we'll us

ton level. The shaft was sunk to
the 800 level, where cuts
We're run north and south, a dis.
lance, of about 800 feet. Three
veins or bodies of ore were en-.
countered north of the shaft and
TWO south of same. Drifts were
run east and west on the July
VEN, which was south of the shaft
AT this point, and on one vein
north of the shaft, on what is
called the north vein, a drift was

A Concrete Well.

To build a concrete wall around q
spring first excavate at least three
feet deep to the size required, in or.
der to have the bottom of the wall
below the frost in severe weather.
Then build the walls with frost bat
ter on the outside next to the earth,
this will prevent the walls from shov.
ing in and cracking. Make the walls
fourteen inches thick at the bottom
and six inches thick at the top, hav-
ing the inside of the walls plumb The
concrete should be composed of six
parts clean gravel to one part Port
land cement. The water can be let in
to the well twenty-four hours after it
is completed, but if it can be kept
out for longer time it would be bet
ter. Portland cement concrete will set
hard under water, so that as soon as
the walls are hard enough to allow
the moulds to be removed the water
will not injure them.

MOMENTS WEIRD MENUS.

Some Of the Things They Order for
Luncheon.
There was a woman's missionary
meeting in a Brooklyn church and the
audience adjourned to Fulton street
restaurant for luncheon. The place
began to buzz, the walters lost their
heads and order gave way to chaos.
1t was not multiplicity of orders
that caused total route of the wait
ers, but their weirdness.
Here are few sample orders that
the women gave:
Strawberry shortcake, German pan
cake and biscotins.
Chocolate, preserved ginger and
cerealline.
Kippered behring's, marmalade and
Saratoga chips.
Ice cream, fish balls and parsley.
Ice cream. strawberries and mush.
room sauce.

and sweetbreads.

A Last Farewell.

Colgate Hoyt of the Automobile

1T is true" he said, that good
chauffeurs often earn $4,000 and
$4,000 a year, while excellent ones
sometimes command really exorbitant

There are expensive hotels IN
France, but they cannot compare with
ours. and this Frenchman, when his
weekly bill was handed to him, was
amazed and angered at its size.
However, he paid it. Then he sent
for the manager. The manager, beam
