They have run three large cuts, ole tunnel and cut about 50 or sixty feet, stlnk one shaft 21 feet deep with a windlass-hlut this one is ot* the hanging wall. They have olwned up the ledge in the tunnel. It is from 15 to 20 feet wideo solid, porous iron rock, and has about the same pitch of the big ledge. They think the tunnel they started first will cut it an from 50 to 75 feet more. The ledges are developed so that there is no chance for dispute or guess work.

BLTTC,July fl.-MAthouab not amuc has been beard on the subject lately.the meIn bern of the different military compeale of the city have not yet given up the MId of bulldilan armory. A member of one of the compeales was discussing the propo. sition today and advanced a new and seemingly feasible plan to bring about a consumnation of the muchb desiredl project. His idea was to get up a joint building association composed of the militia om- panies, public library and Pastime Ath letle club. He thought that by a union of these three organisations money could he easily ralled to buy a lot anid erect a suitable building. The gentIlesan referred to said that t t would not be ab solutely necessary to have money enouhl to purchasee round and complete the Iuliimng. All that would be required would be to pecure the ground after whickh it would be an easr matter to erect a Ibuilding. As a ood loction be sug gested the old pavilion, which not only possesed thew advantage of being situated in a good locality, but also posseesed the additional advantage of containing a suf. tlcilelt area. Silntid suchl a course be IpursH l thte genltlemllan suggested that a three story hiildidn be erected. One of the two uppelr floors could he utilised as an armnory and drall room by the soldiers iand t(h other hy the library and athletic club. The ground floor would e fIltted up as stores and could bi rentld for mn.re than the amount of the interetl t oil the investment. The Pavilion was last night bought by the I'ohhans. and it in understood that they will not build onl it at present, but ar. willing to sell oni receipt of a gol price. The property as held at 5OI) per flrot foot for the 40 feet on the coarer, and a slightly lower price for the 2I feet adjoining it on Granite. The price paid by the ('obbans was $2(,0LO.
