A tunnel is being run through the White Reef at the Thompson mine with a view of tapping the vein so as to deliver the ore on the east side of the Reef. The tunnel is in some twenty-six feet, and an eight-hour shift is kept constantly at work. This is understood to be the work of J. W. Kerr, who bought the mine a short time ago. The Thompson makes a remarkably fine showing at the present time, and is believed lo be one of the big mines of the district. J. D. Hickox, John Alphin and Bob Ludington started for Panguitch Lake on Monday morning. They didn’t leave without a little of something to sustain them on the way— two four-gallon kegs filled with whisky, nine dozen of Milwaukee beer, three baskets of champagne, four thousand cigars, and one extra wagon filled with grub.
