Central Tunnel Doines.

In an interview with Mr.. J j. Will
lis, the atfable and courteous super
intendent of the Central tunnel this
morning, we have learned that there
are things doing" at this big bore of
the Big Five company. Where the up
raise has been made. connecting the
Central with the Miami tunnel three
hundred feet above, Bauer and company
have opened up hundreds of tons of ex-
cellent ore. considerable of which is of
a smelling grade. This company has
acquired three blocks more of ground
above the Miami where a fine body
of ore has been blocked out between
the two tunnel levels, making it
one of the most important leases in the
i district.
A little further on in the tunnel the
Swedish-American company have
their develoment work going forward
again, where they expect to reach, by
driving matter of from so to 100 feet,
junction of the two veins which form
the large ore body near the surface.
Next comes the Shafter which has
been doing good business for so long
that it is regarded as one of the staple
monotonies and no further comment is
necessary in reference to this reliable
property. About thirty days ago, a
new company known as the United
Eastern, got control of the Refugee
and Summit properties andis develop
ing them through the Shafter via the
Central tunnel. In the Hudson there
are leasers at work with good show
ing of ore in sight. The tunnel
breast is beng advanced steadily and
substantially. The power and tram
ming for these different places is being
furnished by the Big Five so that it is
plain to be seen that there is consid
cradle business and activity at the Big
Five plant.
