REACHES THIRD VEIN.
Revenue Makes Another Unexpected
Find in New Main Tunnel.

The Revenue in Beaver county has
encountered Il third vein Of good ore
in the tunnel 1t is driving towards the
Cliff and Buckbee veins, its main Ok
rosits The latest find was made about
f7E feet In from the mouth of the tunnel.
The vein Is three feet wide and con-
tans sQod milling ore. No attempt Will
be made to open it anywhere near thor
uughly at the present time as the com
pany is DESTROYS of having its shaft and
Lowell tunnel connected This done each
Of the three veins opened In the main
tunnel will be prOspected Some work
has been done OH the second vein en-
Countered at a depth of about 100 feet.
Fifty feet of drifting has been accom-
plished and big developments are eN-
pected when as much more work has
been completed. The company has a
shaft down 800 feet on the Cliff and
Buckbee veins but water made work
from the top difficult so 1t was decided
Ia drive a tunnel towards the shaft
and then make connections from below.
The tunnel will reach the SHAFT about
800 feet below its stump. Sinking and
raising may be done to expedite work.
With the shaft and tunnel connected
the property will have good drainage
and excellent ventilation and its num-
erous ore bodies win be opened up
quickly and thoroughly.
