DRIVING TUNNEL
ON IRON HORSE
Wentworth Plans to Push Work and
Expects TO CrOsscut Ledge mt
200 feet depth.

John Wentworth, manager of, the
Consolidated Metal Mining company,
has had a force of men driving a tun-
mel this winter on the Iron Horse
group of claims near Wanicut lake.
Mr.. Wentworth announces that he
plans to put an additional shift to
work this spring to push the work
forward. He estimates that the ore
: body is about 100 feet from the face
of the tunnel and it will be cross cut
at depth of 200 feet. Considerable
work has been done on the surface
and ore shipped has shown excellent
values in gold and silver, with some
lead.
Mr.. Wentworth has been mining in
this county for many years and has
been connected with the development
of a number of well known properties
among them being the Copper World
and the Copper World Extension, on
the summit of Copper mountain, and
the Lone Pine, now known as the
Submarine group. Few men have had
longer or wider experience in pros
pecting and mine development in this
upper country, and he has had oppor-
tunity because Of this experience to
become intimately acquainted with the
mineral resources of the district. He
has always held strong faith in the
ultimate development of paying mines
here and he is convinced that he has
