The Indiana Mine, the chief en terprise In this locality, is the scene of unusual activity.. Sinking in the shaft was carried on all winter and a depth of 600 feet attained from a previous depth of 300 feet. Recently cross cutting was begun. at the' 600 foot level and proceeds slowly, being hindered by an excess of water. The ore values are gold and copper- but the' deeper workings are said to show little but copper. An effort Is being made by the management ot secure the Installing of a small smelter for the mine but with what probability of success is not known outside. The fuel supply of the mine is cord wood, or rail wood and as thev want 2500 cords tliia year, costing, from $3.50 to $6 a cord, this means the putting of considerable money in circulation here. Bad roads and lack of wood cutters having made a shortage" of wood. Manager Eobt.
