years ago po possibly fifty or sixty Before this tunnel was discovered ered the portal of It was co covered with rocks and debris and no one In Int t that t H district seemed 1 to know of or its its its' i existence Tho superintendent of t thee the e mine upon one of his exploration trips discovered signs of Af an opening In the mountain and concluded to to send men to remove remo tho the rocks
