One of the engineers in looking over the ground of the Cola Road Red Top company, expressed the opinion that the vein mad not yet been cut by the tunnel that was recently driven in to cut the main vein in the property. The en- gineers were very much impressed with the possibilities of the south end of the big vein and will undoubtedly recommend that work to be commenc. ed on the mines right away,
