To toll up the steep ascent with tools, powder and other supplies essential for operations oper-ations must have been a heroic test of a mans perseverance- as -well as strenh; but, undaunted by difficulties,' difficul-ties,' the work was begun In the win. ter of 1877. To break a road to the mine up the canyon through the snow, fifty-five teams were hired by Mr. Hlnes. By dint of work that exhausted men and teams, and that was only accomplish, ed by sheer bulldog endurance and weight ot numbers, a road was brok-end brok-end to them Ine. The next problem was to get the or8 down tho hillside to the point atwhlch the teams could load. "IUhld lag" Practiced This was accomplished by "raw. hiding."

The ore was then pulled down the steep hillside to the loading load-ing station. About 6500 pounds of ore could be placed In a hide. Two boys and two small horsef were able . to keep the teams supplied with ore, sc. cording to Mr. Hlnes.

The Weber quartxlte, the underlying strata exposed, . has . . a northwest-southeast strike "with a dip of from 18 to 25 degrees to the northeast north-east Overlying the quartette are sue cesslve strata of shale and limes tone of the Ophlr formation, Including the little, the Reed and Benson and ths Emma limestones, productive of millions mil-lions on the Alta district The ore occurs in the Pittsburg Assure As-sure on the contacts and la the bed. ding planes cut by the fissure. Most ot the ore in the early days wss mined in the upper whit lime strata and also where th fissure cut the costsct between the white and gray limestones.' In the old No. 1 tunnel there is still a good tonnage ot carbonate or showing In 'th fissure fis-sure snd some of th small shoots. Samples taken ot some of these shoots shows that the ore carries as high ss 75 per cent lead aad thlrty.flve ounces of silver. . . ;-- It Is in this territory the company plsns not only to mine that ore which was left by early operators, but explore the fissure at its inter section with the verfcw limestone strata to the north. An, Interesting tact in connection with .No. t tunnel Is that the old.tlmers ran the tunnel but twenty-five feet until they struck th fissure snd a good body of or.

Th depth at.' talned on the dip ot th formatloa will give hundreds of feet of stoplng ground." Furthermore.
