NEW YORK LETTER

New York, Dec. S.--With drill, pick
and dynamite a railroad tunnel has
heen driven for the first time under
Fifth avenue, New York's thorough
fare of fashion. The burrowers in
the tunnel along Thirty-third street
had gone past the west building line
and begun to make their way beneath
the sidewalk vaults of the Waldorf
Astoria before the public knew what
was happening. Not a culver of the
street, not a crack in the asphalt told
of the progress of the subteIranean
way through which Pennsylvania and
Long Island railroad trains will pass
wheB the under-river tunnels are com
pleted.
The engineers and contractors said
nothing about crossing below the
avenue-they wanted to show how it
could be done without anybody find
ing 1t out. So, while the glistening
vlctorias, coupes and hansOms rolled
back and forth, directly under them,
some so feet or more, men with drills
and dynamite sticks tore away huge
sections of rock. No noise is more
noisy, perhaps. than a lot of rock
drills in operation, but not a sound
penetrated up to Fifth avenue.
Six Tunnels Abreast.
Now the tunnel miners have passed
the point where the chamber, already
~ feet wide at the base, broadens still
little more on each side. For be-
tween Fifth and Seventh avenues,
there are three tunnels under Thirty
third and three under Thirty-second
street, while there are only two be-
tween Fifth avenue and the East
river. The tracks in each tunnel to
the east will be separated by con-
crete wall, with passageways cut
through every so feet, but under each
street west of Fifth avenue there will
be three tracks in one large chamber.
The sides and arched ceilings of this
three-track chamber will be of con-
crete two feet six inches thick, and
| we'll water-proofed.
The most startling feature of the
work, certainly to a layman, is this
| fact Except for the smiths forges In
the repair shop, not a pound of coal
has been burned on the job. The
steam shovel is not steam shovel at
| all-it runs by compressed air. The
engineers always refer to it as steam
shovel, because 1t represents a type.
The boiler is used as an air receiver
and is connected by flexible hose
with the same compressed air line that
supplies the force for the rock drills.
The shovel runs on a narrow-gauge
track from one end of the tunnel to
the other, lifts up rocks weighing
hundreds of pounds and puts them in
TO skips (bucketsl on trucks.
Electricity is the force that human
ingenuity and muscle call upon for
aid. There is compressed air, but IL
is compressed by machines driven by
electricity. Instead of mules or puff
ing steam engines to haul the rock
to the shaft. electric locomotives
each with a pull of $500 pounds and
weighing 10 tons. do the hauling. They
are queer In appearance-these mine
locomotives, as they are called. Squat
and black, their form reminds on,
somewhat of racing automobiles.

MANNER OF MINING, ORE RESERVES, Etc.

1t has already been noted that all OF the work done
on Bullfrog Rush Mining Company ground has been
prosecuted with view defining the veins and de-
terTninnG the continuity of the bodies and no
attempt has been made to block ore AT the same
time, the work has been accomplished in such a
miner-like way that when the time arrives for the
blocking out OF the bodies with a view TO trans
porting the to mills in the immediate vicinity all
OF the work will have been found be OF utility and
Of it waste
1t is now estimated by Prof Bailey the consulting
engineer in charge, that sufficient has been opened
up in the ordinary Of exploration work TO keep
a 2O-Stamp mill busy year, and that half years
blocking out work will disclose sufficient to keep
4Oe-stanap mill busy for five years
The average value Of the ore opened up on the
Rush property so far is SIS per \ mountain OF
1t is revealed If the veins ordinary depth and
there is no reason to believe they not then there
are millions Of tons of that it will pay to mill in
Bullfrog Rush Mining Company ground. and the out
put cannot be computed
It has been pointed that all OF the veins on
Bonanza Mountain have improved in values as depth
mas been obtained and that if the general experience
proves true on the Rush, an enormous tonnage OF
hiSh-srade milling ore will be opened up on the Rush
property at depth as soon the sinking OF shafts
ana wines has been accomplished
Ihe conservative the head OF the con,Dan1,
however, prefer TO base their hopes and calculatons
on the lowest possible average values of the ore bodies
as revealed on the surface and momentariv discard
Ing the practical guarantee the engineers that the
ore at depth Will be found be ncornparablv richer
tnan on the surface. they combining their caIc,Ia
tons 10 profits that be realized on ore thar a,a
ages SIS per ton only.
New-York tribune., 1906-05-20

Rush nropery is shown to be from IS to 30 wide
exactly the width as on the property OK tne
Bulifrog Denver Mines Company where az deptn Oh
800 feet tremendous body Of averaging 500 per
ton, is now being blocked out
No such body of ore was indicated in the great
Montqonery Shoshone mine Of BulIfros at the san1o
stage Of development is already demonstrated IN
the 5ufros Rush.
Comparisons Of the present showing on the Bull
froa Rush with those other properties Bonanza
Mountain and elsewhere BuIfrog at the stage
of development put the Rush in class by itself.
Ten times as good showing has been made on the
Rush as was made at the same period on any other
property including the Denver, Eclipse, Tramp, Hobo
and Gibraltar. II is believed by Consulting Engineer
Bailey and by the rank and file of mining men on
the ground who personally watched the progress
development work all the properties Bonanza
Mountain, that the short period of development
rants belief that the BuIfros Rush Mining Company
owns the greatest property Bonanza Mountain.
They base this conclusion facts, as follows:
More of the Denver vein has been opened up
the Index claim of the Bufrog Rush Mining Company
than has been disclosed on the property OF the Bull
frog Denver Mines Company itself. The average
say values In the tunnels the surface the Den
vein in Bullfrog Rush Mining Company ground
higher than they the Denver vein IN
Bulfrog Denver Mines Company ground. The char
acter OF the of this vein in both properties is SIM
liar. There is no reason known 70 mining science
why the same high values as characterize the Denver
vein at depth the Eullfrog Denver Mines Com
panyS ground should not be found on Bullfrog Rush
Mining Company ground, and they take II as an ac-
cepted fact that at least good values will be found
at depth the Denver vein in Bulfrog Rush Mining
Company ground as are now being found at depth
the same vein in Denver ground.
Again the great Rush vein, itself traversng Bull
frog Rush Mining Company ground for a distance Of
$500 feet and having the gigantic of from 154
to 800 feet and showing values surface for
width Of over Is feet OF $35 per which is far in
excess Of any results obtained on the Denver vein
from .arge hody the surface conveys to
them the idea that at depth the Rush vein will be
found 10 be as large, If not larger mining PROPOSE
tion. than the Denver vein They point that the
average assay obtained the Denver vein on Bull
frOG Denver Mines Company ground the surface
was less than SIS per ton and that the Rush vein
at the depth average values Of from $40 to $S5
per ton being obtained.

DENVER VEIN

The famous Denver vein, which is opened UP
Bullfrog Denver Mines Company ground, and at the
SO0-foot level is 40 feet wide, and gives
assay Of $50 per ton, opened up Index claim Of
