Saratoga Is Connected.
The raise from the lateral on the Sara
| 81,
the tenth level of the Saratoga mine was
opened up again yesterday, and there is
every reason to belive that the connection
has now been permanently made. A
force of tim bermeD has been engaged
for the past ten day 8 in getting the tenth
level in passable condition. The work
has been difficult as well as dangerous
but the undertaking has been completed
without an accident 81 any kind owing
to the p,ecaution taken by the manage
ment.
Nov thai the connection has been es-
tablshed permanently, and the ventila-
ton will permit of continuous work the
rock and mineral on the track in the lat
eral will be removed as soon possible. 1t
is the intention to drive the lateral ahead
of the raise for connection with the bot
tom of the main shaft, several hundred d
feet to the east. Itis likely that work
will be resumed in the slopes above the
lateral shortly, as there is now nothing
to prevent the working of an almost un
limited force of men in the lateral as
we'll as the lower workings Of the big
mine.
| 1t will require some time for the Sara.
toga Development company to get the
mine in shape for the production OF
