In xllie main tunnel, according lo Mr. Cuts. m the vein proper now overlaps the entire fnco, and bunches of first-class ore arc scattered throughout the formation. The em maiter oi'sclf carries considerable value, and the wholo face and its extension, ex-tension, it is said, will average up into a good milling product at the present 1 1 time The indications point very strongly strong-ly to I lit; Making of a permanent body of the best of (ho benched ore exposed and work will be vigorously prosecuted i wiflj a view (o reaching the enlarged deposits.

Tli Thor company was organized lasi. t fall, the. claims taken over being located locat-ed in the district which will .bo drained bv ihe driving of the proposed Dal.y-.Tudgo-Snake Creek tunnel, and in a se'e-, se'e-, tion of recognized worth from a min . ing standpoint. Besides the tunnel work which has been accomplished, largely in the naluro of prospecting, a sliat't was started on the ground, but at a little depth sinking had to bo discon ' tinned on account of water. With the proposed drain tunnel an ( accomplished fact the water problem will have been solved for the Thor company, com-pany, as well as a number of t ho other i smaller companies owning property in the- district, but handicapped in their . development work on account of the ex- J I pon:-c incurred in attempting to handle excessive water. |
