Recent Developments.

Harry S. Joseph, manager of the sill
yer Shield Mining company In Bing-

night. Mr.. Joseph makes the assertion
that one OF the best strikes in the his
tory Of the mine has been made In an
upraise from the main tunnel level. II
was not entirely unexpected, however,
for 1t will be recalled that some time
ago the company broke into a good
looking ore body on the upper levels.
but on account of water interfering IL
was not made readily accessible. II
was then determined TO drive the main
tunnel ahead and upraise. The dis
lance between the tunnel and the level
from which the miners We're driven Is
40 feet. The ore was encountered
after raising 300 feet. The connection
made In the manner indicated will ef-
fectually drain the mine and render
possible the breaking of ore ana re-
moval TO the surface at minimum OK
pense. About 800 tons were broken
down yesterday. Mr.. Joseph says much
of the ore exposed Is OF n shipping

mill treatment before being sent 10
