machine drills. under the direction of
Theodore Grasser, one of the most ex-
pert machine operators in the district.

The station in the Newhouse tunnel
where the Hot Time lateral starts is
just beyond the Is. 00o-foot peg: the
lateral is 4,33i feet in length, and the
Old Town shaft is 2lS4 feet deep,
making the distance between the two
openings, the portal of the Newhouse
tunnel and the collar of the Old Town
shaft, little over four miles.
The Old Town shaft lies very fiat,
and the exact point at which the con-
nection was made is vertically under
the main wagon road between this
city and Central City as it turns easter
ly after crossing the ravine in Russell
gulch. On the map the point can be
located 200 feet east of the west
end lines of the RusselI's Pride claim,

of and slightly west of the Old Town
shaft house.

the vein and at the same time the
levels between the 1.5O0-foot static n
