MoNTEZUMA PLANS
 2l00 FOOT TUNNEL
(From weAa ssday's Daily.)

Advces from the Bradshaw noun tam, yesterday stated that the hold ings of the Montezuma Mining and Milling Company were attracting very much interest, in the large amount of development that had been authorized by J. P. WaIdron, i,s president, and which assured the permanent operating of that prop er,y on very large scale. Joe Valdrini had been awarded con- tract in tunnel work of 200 feet, and with an option on another POO feet
 This development, it is believed. will permit of the exploration of the group. with what has heretofore been done by Mir. Waldron who has expended from his private funds several thousands of dollars. The Baer mine of the system has been selected as the point for driv- ing a long tunnel, which will reach a distance of over 2.i00 feet when inc Valdrini work is completed. Linked to this extensive exploration. MT. Waldron while in the city a few days ago. stated that the ore body developed when a temporary suspension was ordered short time ago, is strong and rich. and justiiies the heavy outlay that has been authorized.
 The vein in the Bear tunnel runs io four feet in width, carrying gold, silver and lead values. In lead alone, he states, the proposition can be made handsome payer. During the three years this operator has been in that field he has conducted great amount of development and prospecting, ranging for over 4,50O feet along the vein that is easily traced from the Bear camp. It is on the good showing made at SO many points that work is to follow on the large plan that has been de- 'oided upon.
 Development only, will be the motto of the company for the future, and production is of secondary con 'ideration. Later the intention is 10 erect plant Shipments made on a testing of the values returned gratifying results, hence the move ment undeh headway to start up on lines of practical and permanent mining. Six claims of the group are to be patented immediately. The Montezuma interests are situated in virgin section of the Bradshaws on the western slope, and until MT.
