An uPraise~fTOm loner tunnel level is <br />now being worked to connect with upper workings a distance <br />of 440mfeet, 75 Peet is left pBt to connect. A hoist with <br />bucket and steel cable la used to hoist loads to top of <br />raise. Average load hoisted is 200 pods. This has bean <br />in use only 15 da?s.

The method of timbering la stalls and <br />hitches with hitches at both endG. The timbers are round <br />spruce and fir. The ore from the raise is <br />shot directly into th•: chutes. Undergrounc, tramming <br />is done b y hand. 20 cubic foot steel carfi are used on 20 <br />pound Reel rails. The system of drainage is nat~ral~ <br />through tunnel. A Pan exhaust is used for nentiiation. <br />The raise is divided Into t~vo compartments. The ladder <br />way and air pipes in one aide. The ore is shot down the <br />other. Only one exit. at present. The main workings are <br />lighted by electricty the raise by candies. <br />• M E N E M P L O y E P. <br />8 machine drillmen $4.00 for 8 hours. <br />?, timbermen 4.00 ^ <br />3 trammers g,00 <br />1 assayer 5.00 • <br />2 black~-miths 4.00 <br />1 foreman ~ 4.50 » <br />1 superintendent 10.00 • <br />2 aaaa~r~xxxx <br />2 engineers 4.00 for 12 hours. <br />GENERAL REMARK $. <br />No per eon under the age of twelre pears is employed in <br />the mine. ^trangers or visitors are not allowed undergrourifl <br /> <br />
