,.,,,.oi,s Nov s-The work which
uss going on IN the shaft at the iron
King mine In East rlnuc has been a's-
continued temporarily. This was Done
IN order that the work OF driving the DIX
tunnel might be rushed along at greater
speed. The tunnel has been driven oN''
mo feet and 1t is presumed that the
iron ore will be encountered witnn
another 500 or 1000 feet Of work. u Is
quite likely that other bodies OF IRON
ore will be cut IN running the 500 OF
LOCO feet. The direction Of the tunnel ls
headed toward the main working smart
which will be tapped by the tunnel az
depth OF 5000 feet from the surface

2 200 feet from the mouth Of the Golden

Leasers have been given blocks In the |
Swansea mine at Silver city, and ac-
cording TO reports from the other side
the men are doing fairly well. Nine |

no work for itself at this time.
Work has been commenced al tho old |

body OF ore Is already exposed. II is |
expected that much larger deposits will |
be opened with but little development |

Az the Bullock mine near silver city,
two drifts are being run In "a north
