east on the 154-foOt level a BODY
of shipping ore has been exposed,
1875 feet from the shaft. The ore
is said to be five feet in width, T
of this at least one-half is said TO
be of shipping grade. The chief
content is gold and the ore is plain
" the extension of the rich shoot
mined in early days near the sur
face.
A carload of ore of excellent
grade was shipped during the eek
from the Horn Silver company's
ground and is being sampled here.
The west drift on this property, at
the 1OO-foot level, has exposed goo0
ore below what is known as the
Bullsnake cut, where hlgh-grade
ore appears at the surface.
Another 50-ton carload of $50
ore has been shipped lately from
the Hardwick-Reid lease, on the
Orleans property. A winze is now
being driven on the vein to open
up the richest part of the ore-shoot
from below.

Invasions Of Russia.

The first great invasion OF Russia
was that of the Huns. a race or nerce
and warlike Asiatics. who swept over
eastern Europe in the fourth century.
In the thirteenth century the golden
horde of Tartars captured Russia, and
from 1898 to 1862 the country was un-
der the yoke of the Mongols. In 1898
Tamerlane invaded Russia, but retired
In 1862 the Slavs again gained the as
tendency, and Ivan III. 1.-THE Great
founded the present monarchy and
introduced firearms and cannon INTO
Russia.
In 1870 there was another great In
yasion of Tartars, but they were driv-
en- out. In 1913 the present royal fam
lily, the Romanoffs, gained the throne.
In 100 the Swedes invaded Russia,
but after several victories they were
routed.
The last great invasion OF Russia
was that of Napoleon. His disastrous
retreat from Russia, In which most OF
his army was destroyed, marked the
beginning of the end of his power

TUNNEL PLANNED
BELOW CHANNEL
LONG Projected TUNNEL TO
CONNECT ENGLAND AND
FRANCE IN VIEW

PARIS, Aug. 81. - France has
taken all the necessary steps TO
enter into negotiations with Eng
land to build jointly a tunnel I'M
der the English channel to connect
the two countries, the long-talked
of project which the war has re-
vived because it has demonstrated
as nothing else could the value of
the tube to both countries
Had the tunnel been in existence
during the present conflict it would
have been of unreasonable value to
England and France for the trans
portation of troops and supplies and
would have liberated French and
British war vessels from n of their
biggest tasks.
The plans were outlined by NJ.
Sartiaux, chief engineer of the Nord
Railway company, who is one of the
strongest advocates of the project.
He said:
THE tunnel will cost 5000. 900
pounds, half of which would be
borne by England and half by
France. Each country would bore
one half of the tunnel. Well, Br;-
tain is spending just 100000
pounds per day and France 1900
GOO pounds so that two days war
time expenditure of both countries
would more than cover the cost
of making the tunnel.
ct is proposed to make two tun-
nels, one for traffic from France to
England to France. Some people
seem to think a cr~oss-tunnel might
be a danger, because it might fall
into the hands of the enemy. To
capture the French end would not
be an easy task. The mouth of the
tunnel on French soil would be ten
miles from the coast, and in or
der to reach it the enemy would
have to capture Calais, and ne-
gotiate three intervening hills of an
average height of $50 feet.
The tunnel on the French side

be impossible for an enemy to reach
the mouth of the tunnel and get
at the electric plant. The motive
power could be instantly suppressed
and the tunnel Immediately render
ed useless by filling It with poison
Gus gas.
One can hardly exaggerate the
services the tunnel would have q
dered to England and France had
il been in existence when hOstili-
ties broke out. During the twen~
ty hours of daily use (for four
hours must be deducted out of the
t~wenty-four for upkeep and repairs.
etc.) between 100 and 100 trains
could have been sent in each direc-
ton.
"ht 500 ems per train that rem
resent $1,000 to 10000 tons a day
each way, much more than is neces-
sary.
A part from the dimunition in
delay, risks, losses, and difficulties
of every nature, the British fleet
would have been liberated from one
of the heaviest parts of its task
n free to serve the cause of the
allies in other directions"

early-day lessees extracted quanti-
ties of bonanza ore nearer the sur

with ore of excellent grade exposed
at a number of points in the mine.
Diamondfeld Black Butte has in
