For years efforts have been made to de- velop a paying property there out little headway was made until the National Tin Mining Corporation, acquired it, first under lease, and then by out right purchase which was re- gently concluded.
 A tunnel has been run a dis tance of 750 feet. In the tun- nel, 470 feet from the portal, a shaft 300 feet has been sunk on the tin ore vein and there is said to be at least 750 feet of ore back of the shaft.
 At a depth of 250 feet it is reported that the shaft cuts through a new ledge of silver lead ore, 12 feet wide which will run 50 per cent metal.
 The main tin ore lode is said to be 12 feet wide and will run two per cent tin and tung- sten. It is estimated 47O,OOO tons of ore is already blocked out. There is said to be suf- ficient ore in sight to keep a 500 or 1000-ton mill working continuously, and plans are under way for the construction of such a plant.
