Zenith MINE
SHAFT CHANGE

Monday morning the Zenith mine,
under Ben S. Richards, superinten-
dent, began changing the hosting
gear and connections to the new
shaft and shaft house just completed
south of the old structure.
The new shaft was sunk on the
site of the bore hole put down two
wears ago. The hole was bored by
Contractor j. B. Newsom of Grass
Valley, California, and was the
second of its kind in the United
States. The bore hole, S feet inches,
was sunk to depth of 1908 feet into
solid rock and the cores raised in the
sinking have been viewed by thou
sands since then. A Six-foot section
of the core has been placed on a
pedestal before the state mines and
minerals building at the State Uni
verSity.
The hole bored at the time as an
air shaft has been utilized as a part
of the new compartment shaft which
was put down in record time, the
drilled hole having expedited the
sinking.
Two weeks will be required to make
