MEN ARE NEARING VEIN

Encoura ging reports arc brought back
from the Leonora mine in the Star dis
trlct of southern Utah by John Matson
and Willard Hanson. Jr.. respectively
president and vice president of the COM
pany. who visited the property last week.
Seven men are now at work in the
mine, and a new cabin, blacksmith shop
and corral have been constructed on the
ground. The face of the drift off the
main shaft las wonderfully improved
since resumption Of work there. The
shaft is down 100 feet. and at that point
u drift was made to intercept the vein.
which is known to exist in the ground.
This drift is now In a distance OF $50
feet from the bottom OF the shaft, and
the rock now showing in its face is or
quartz, white lime and tale.
The officials who visited the mine last
week say that the woriimen in the long
DRIFT expect to break into the ore with
almost any new shot that is put in.
The company is prepared to continue
ali winter In the work OF development OF
the property. supplies having been laid
in for that purpose and finances having
been provided TO defray all necessary eN-

SAFETY IN TUNNELING
DISCUSSED EXPERTLY

Means OF preventing accidents In driy-
ing tunnels, levels and drifts for mining or
water development purposes are discussed
in miners circular IS, prepared for the
United States bureau of mines by David
w. Brurton and John A. Davis Begin
ming with the statement that for sixteen
representative mining and water tunnels
there were Al deaths and sixteen serious
accidents annually per 1000 men en-
ployed, the authors address suggestions
TO the superintendent, foreman and miner.
The fact that the greatest source OF
danger Is from falls of rock is made the
basis for an appeal for uniform systems

be lessened by avoiding overcharging
shot holes,

OF determining It's safety; In many cases
experienced men have been deceived by
the apparent solidity indicated by this
practice.

Dump Gets Stone Worth
 s A Load
East Finders Want Side Streets Repaired With Material
 From Stratford Avenue.

People of the East End complain that the crushed stone taken from Connecticut avenue and Stratford ave- nue is being used as a fill on a pub lie dump.
 A citizen who talked about the mat ter today, said: This material is worth s3 per two horse load. It is very wasteful to use in place of ashes or dirt, for filling purposes, and bus mess efficiency requires it's to inn prove some of the sandy, muddy and badly kept side streets leading from Connecticut avenue and Stratford ave nue.
 There is enough of this material to put a large surface of these side streets in condition. The haills would be short, and the work could be cheapIy dene.
 ''The stuff that is being removed to the public dump is nearly as good as new crushed stone, and is very much better as a street surface than the mud and sand which is the best many streets in the East End show.
 Crushed stone at the wharf or car is worth perhaps in the average a dollar ton. There will be three tons on a two horse load. It is worth something to haul the stone from the car, to which place where it is to be used. think I am we'll inside the mark when I say that a two horse load of the material from Stratford avenue is worth $3.''
