Drain Tunne! at Baltimore.

Eureka. May "A few days ago a
small cave, OF rather an open flssure
was broken into on the property of
the Iron King. out In the eastern part
of the district, and as the cave is
lined with manganese and quartz the
indications are considered very favor
able for ore The management of the
Iron King intends to do some sinking
in this cave within the next few days.
The big tunnel being run into the
mountain side at this property is in 4
distance Of 100 feet, and 1000 feet
moro work will be necessary to put
the tunnel beneath the big iron blow
out. There remains TO be done about
5000 feet more work in the tunnel to
connect Ii up with the shaft Of the
Iron King, but 1t is the opinion that

below the iron groupings. The work
through the shaft includes a drift
which is being run in westerly di
rection from the 600 level. and also
another drift from the 400 level In
the same direction. Both of these
drifts are in about 500 feet and it
was in the former that the cave was
broken into.
Work of sinking in the shaft at the
East Tintic Development company
was resumed Wednesday, and 1t will
be but few weeks before the com
