Western Mining World') special correspondent. Air to Deep Worktop The present atmospherical conditions in the lower working!) of the deeer mines of the Calumet, Mich., district are far from being as trying to the miner aa have been described. In no other district in the world where active min ing operations have been carried on to a depth exceeding 2,000 feet is the rock temperature ho low as in thu mines of thu Lake Siierlor copper district. This to u certain extent must bo attributed to Lake Superior, as thu coppur-liearing formations dip under this body of water, which is only a few degrees nhovu freez ing in the hottest days of summer and abtorbf some of the heat of thu rocks. The compressed air from thuowerlrills is also an iniMirtaut factor in mining at great depths. Under compression at-mosph-riu air gives up much of its heat and when released aids in cooling the surrounding air and rock. In thu lower levels of thu Calumet and llecla and Tamarack mines thu tenieriiture of the air varies between "ft and 80 degrees. Although this is decidedlv warm for labor It is not very uncomfortable for miners and tnimmees who liuvo become used to it. Western Mining World. Mining More Populir Every Day. Mining is Incoming inure, mpular every day. This is largely due to thu efforts of progressive promoters in not only organizing mining companies, hut by conducting a vigorous educational campaign on mining istssihilities gener ally and those of their own particular camp or district. There are many moru legitimate (inns in this class of business than formerly, although there are many which will bear watching closely. There is but little risk run by thosu who desire u legitimate investment in this desirable Held if ordinary care is exercised and they go at it in thu suniu manner that they would undertake any other busi ness transaction. Choose a well-located property in a promising district ; investi gate the company which has been or gan! red to operate it ; make still closer investigation into the standing of those desirous of selling you stock, and having satisfied yourself that all is right shoot. Dally Mining Record. Important Discovery In Seven Devlli. Although the strike was made suveral days ago, the news reached us thu first of thu week announcing that a rich ledge had been tapped on thu Hill Nye claim, located near the South Peacock on thu cant. Development work on this claim has been progressing satisfactorily. The tunnel has been driven a distance of 100 feet, at which depth a line seven-foot ledge has Im'cii exposed between well de fined walls of granite. Thu ledge carries both copMtr and gold. It Is said that many samples reveal gold to thu naked eye. This splendid proHrty isownedhy Messrs. Anderson Moser, of Council, ami F. M. Sartoris, the well known I'liyettu harness and saddlery man. Thin prop erty has every indication of becoming a prominent producer, and is only an ex cellent sample of suveral claims in that locality which will soon give up their enormous stores of hidden wealth.
