THE LUCKYBOY TUNNEL
Being Driven in Record Time..-
New Town on tho Hillside

NSW sV"H oil knS r1illSlQe
Through the courtesy of John H.
Miller, manager, Bulletin repre-
sentative was enabled to visit the
Luckyboy tunnel last Saturday.
The tunnel is in a distance of ], 500
feet and is progressing at the rate
of 10 feet daily. For the eight days
ending March 28, a distance of l05
feet was made. When it is consid-
cred that the tunnel is Xxi in the
clear, this headway is remarkable.
The equipment at the tunnel is up
to-date in every particular. The
large air compressor at the mouth of
the tunnel, driven by electricity, fur
nishes power for the drill in the mine
and l2inch air pipe keeps the tun-
mel free from foul air and powder
smoke.
About 20 tons of rock are broken
at blast, IA hoes being fired at a
round. The rock is hauled out of
the tunnel by mules, there being five
mine cars in each train. The tunnel
is lighted by electricity. Compressed
air is used in the blacksmith forge
and Is also the motive power for the
Leyner drill sharpener, which ma,
chine is revelation in drill sharpen
ing. After the steel is heated it is
placed in the sharpener and five
drills-four-prong, star-shape bits
are sharpened in one minute
Thirty men are employed and the
work is under the immediate super
vision of Maurice Gallagher, one of
the most experienced practical min
ing men in the State.
1t is the purpose of the manage
ment to drive this tunnel 5000 feet,
in order to tap the large ore bodies
known to exist on the 900-foot level
of the Mountain King mine, and
also to drain that and other Lucky
boy claims, as the influx of water
rendered operations from the surface
impossible. The tunnel will pass
through highly mineraized coun-
try, and it is almost certain that
other ledges besides the Noun tain
King will be encountered. Mr.. Mil
ler says if no unforeseen contingency
arises the tunnel will be completed
before January next.
The tunnel is about five and half
miles south of Hawthorne, the town
being located on sloping ground, the
view being very fine, taxing in Haw-
tharne, Thorne and beautiful Walker
lake, sparkling in the immense basin
formed by surrounding mountains.
The new camp is rapidly assuming
the proportions of a town. There
are about 25 houses and tents, all oc-
cupled. The Miners Union hall has
been moved down from the old town,
also the school house, water has been
piped into camp from the Bodie sum
nit, and Mrs, Leavitt is conducting
a restaurant that would do credit TO
more pretentious PLACE.
]. M. Krippner is the real estate
baron of the camp. He has erected
number of neat cottages, which be
rents to miners aud others. The
little houses are all being dressed in
u new suit of red and green paint
and present a very attractive appear
ance.
