A tunnel is being I driven to tap the vein at great depth. i The face of this tunnel is all in man- i ganesc copper and iron, indicating proximity to the vein.

"'The Nellie group has shipped more ' than .GO,0()0 worth of ore, running . principally to values in gold and sil- ' ver.-- ('op'per values are being disclosed : with depth.
