Wednesday, December 12, 1900 THE SUMPTER MINER 'S QUEBEC MOUNTAIN TUNNEL. 0. R. & N. CO. One Ledge Cut 360 Feet In Air Com pressor Plant Ordered. The Scandla Mining and Tunnel com pany, consolidated, near Alamo, who are running the big tunnel on Quebec hill, are Retting ready to put in a compressor and drill and expect to have it In run ning order within the next sixty days. The Aldrln Tunnel, which Is owned by this company, C. R. Aldrln, manager, is a 3ooofoot tunnel right and gains a depth of 1 200 feet on five good ledges opened up In front of the tunnel. One 6-foot ledge has already been cut at a distance of 360 feet, gaining a depth of 200 feet. It has been known for many years that there are tine gold bearing ledges crossing Quebec hill in a northeasterly direction, and some of these were opened up on the surface at various depths and giving assays fiom $2 to 5300 per ton. Hut no legitimate effort was ever made to make a mine of these properties until this com pany secured the tunnel right. This company with a guaranteed capi tal of 5150,000 to complete this 7x7 tunnel, will make one of the largest mining enter prises in this section of the country. The people w ho are backing and controlling this enterprise are men of experience in the mining business, and before they con cluded to go into this tunnel on a large scale, they did enough development work on their claims to warrant the outlay of this large sum. These people are not "finding" a mine, they are "making" one. The Sc.-mdlu Gold Mining and Milling company and the Aldrln Tunnel company were consolidated last October. A few more enterprises of this character will make this district surrounding Granite the largest mining center in the west. The Aldrln tunnel right is located ope mile west of Alamo and about one mile south of the Red Hoy mine. Granite Gem. Granite Town Election.
