Editors lla-ahl: Agreeable to promi.-o I seud you tho subjoined notes on some of tho moro advanced of tho mini's of this district, in development. Leaving tho Wellington mine, my nest explorations were on what is known a tho Emma and Flagstaff hill. Horo all is activity and bustle, as bc-tweon bc-tweon tho continuous and seeming novor-ondiDg stroam of outward bound and rotuin ore toams; tho hundreds of, minors going to and returning from! their daily toil; the legions of indofalig-' able and ever-liopoful prospectors; and tho hundreds of speculators, capitalists and experts moving around from mine to mine all combine to give a lively business appearance to Central and Aha cities and the surrounding lo-j cality. Passing by that marvel ol' mining ! wonder, tho Emma, allowing it to: stand on its own merits now "so well! established all tho world over, come! to the Littlo Cottonwood Company's! tunnel, located iu one of tho most promising sections of tho Eniina hill, about COO feet S. W. of that mine, is now over 100 feet in, aud from all the surrounding ovidcueo it cannot be moie than lOG lect t'urther to niiucral. The location, prospects, and workmanship of the tunnel, does much credit to the company and their superintendent, A. W.Stowe. The Utah Tunnel company is another of the solid projects of Littlo Cottonwood, owned by first-class business bus-iness men and miners, located in the very best section of the mineral belt of this camp, ISO feet in; is being pushed day and night toward completion by throe cLsnges of men in eacli twenty-four twenty-four horns, under the management of K. Li. Anderson, un old iNevada mining min-ing captaim Ely tuuncl, another well-devised well-devised project, is beiu!? run for locations loca-tions belonging to the Ely mining com-pauy, com-pauy, made higher up the mountain some J0O feet. The locations arc known as the Black Monk and inker, and are on very promising outcrops of high grade ore, to work which, as well as any blind ledges that may be discovered dis-covered iu cutting the tunnel through, being the object of this enterprise. Thc?c tunnel projects, if wo perl v lo- -cawd, I consider one of ihc best fea-j fea-j tuxes iu rlie duo development of the 1 ; mining interest of the Territory, as :owiug to the peculiar characteristics ofi the minora! veins (deposited or other-1 ;wiso), when bund in lime foiiaiioa, j I being ueh as to leave their discovery jor traeiiigs by outcrop, difficult and: j uue'Criaiu, and iu many iutunees im- j ! possible, uwiug io ihc cveilayi:; Jiiue: tCiipso common to tnis loi'kuuen, lull the only real, practical system of miu-, miu-, io;; and prospecting at the soma time, ' while Cue work done is certain of being of permaiUL't utility, is iu tunneling, 1 more especially sere the advantages : present ihemseives a;-(.Ley do in this !ocjJi;v, by the prceipiute ehaiaterof :hz euo'.nia in which the mines arc loe.-.ud. 1 LAOiTATr ja.N-r, Nt.ii. t:i importance to the Emma, L occ - 'i thebt develupcJ mius iu tiic di-.i:.
