that dreams can be prevented by su8

DOlNGS AT ELY MINES.
Notes From cumberIand-EIy, Ely
Con. and Others.

Ely, New, Sept. 5.-The Cumberland Ely
company is now paying a great deal of
attention to its Veteran mine, where it
is given out upon good authority that It
has between 100000 and 100000 tons of
ore in sight, averaging way up in values
Drill holes are being sunk in several
places and there will possibly be two sites
chosen for a shaft that will be as large
as the Star Pointer. The Veteran is en-
ploying between fifty and sixty men and
is increasing the force as rapidly as pos
sible. They are now crowded for room
and when the large clubhouse is COM
pleted as well as several other structures
the force will be greatly increased. There
are several nice residences at the Veteran
camp which are used by the office en-
ployes and the married men. The Vet
eran ore body is about 800 feet long and
the width, as determined at the present
time, is between 400 and 500 feet with ore
in all faces Of drifts. At the present
time they are connecting the workings in
behind the tunnel with thu rsain workings
by raises and wines. Small gasoline
hoists are used in sinking the wines.
Two shafts are being sunk - the Bos-
