There is great activity in Phonolite
and has been for the past two weeks.
A 40O-foot tunnel, recently contracted
for by the Phonolite Paymaster Mining
company. has already been advanced
to the SO-foot mark. The contractors
are local men and they think so much
of the proposition that they are taking
their pay in stock at 25 cents a share.
The tunnel will cut a vein eight inches
wide on the surface which gave returns
of $3,400. The ledge will be cut at a
depth of $50 feet, when it is believed
that sacking of ore can be commenced.

Silent Friend Mining company shot into
ore on E.. NJ. Binford's lease, which ap-
parently runs high in values. The work.
