From the No. shaft the great drain
age avenue has been extended in south
westerly direction for approximately 400
feet through the Ontario and DAILY min
ing properties to the eastern limits of
DAILY West ground. 1t has reached that
point and the Ontario management was
about ready to turn the work-or extend
ing the level through to point directly
beneath the DAILY West shaft when the
main drain tunnel of the Ontario caved
in close to three years ago
No matter what may have happened in
the other submerged levels of the On
tario it is not believed that any great
amount of damage has occurred on the
drain tunnel in the direction of the Daily
West from the No. shaft and, il that
proves to be the case, ii may be that the
extension of that level can be taken up
again within a short time. At any rate
the situation is brighter now than 1t has
been for a long time and there is much
rejoicing in the Park as a result.

driven in the canyon just over the Oh

belief of the owners that the contact
will be cut within the next 100 feet, as
every sign of the formation of the rock
so indicates. A good vein of copper ore
with a mingling of lead and silver has
already been discovered and the hope
held out by the management is that this
vein will open out into a large body
The tunnel is now in a distance of about
AGO feet and the work is being done I'M
der the supervision of David Scott. who
is well acquainted with the ground in this
country. Five men are kept working at
the property and they have provisions
enough on hand to last them until well
on into early summer, when more can
be taken over, so there is every reason
to believe that the work will be contin-
ued until the summer months at least
At the Iowa Copper and Queen Bess
mines work is being pushed rapidly. and
Superintendent John c. Kearns of the lat
ter says that they are taking out some
mighty good looking ore and that as soon
as the roads are broken through in the

A night shift is being put on at the
Wabash mine, beginning this evening, the
management feeling justified in the ac-
ton owing to the splendid showing now
made at the property.

was covered the ground was found so
badlN caved and so wet and dangerous TO

the bad ground. After this side drift had
been run parallel with the main avenue
for forty feet or such a matter, il was
decided TO bore through to the main tun-

did not prove a success: the second was
little better while the third brought out
considerable water and indicated that

After doing some additional driving in
the side drift and after feeling the ground
straight ahead with the diamond drill for
about sixty feet, it was decided, just a
short time ago, to try another hole and
at a greater angle in the direction of No.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Market Is Little Draggy and Prices

There was not quite as much ginger in
the market yesterday and smaller volume
of business at shaded prices was the re-
suit of the days trading. Buyers played
a waiting game and it was noticeable
that. with each drop of a point in nearly
every stock, a market for ii was FOUND.
Trading has been going on at rather
high tension for several days past and
it looks as though temporary, though
investor will be making no mistake TO
take advantage of any recession in prices
that may come, for there Is not shadow
of doubt that this market is going TO be
doing business at a much higher level
after the mines resume and the smelters
again accept the ores.
