THE BRIGHT SMILE.
I have no underground news to give about this mine, matters being represented as being about the same as when last reported. At the company's office I gathered some statistics relative to their operations. I find that they carry the names of 15P men on their pay-sheet. They employ 28 horses todraw stone, which keeps 87 ieadkof.stamps going in its reduction. There are 900 tons of stuff sent to the mills weekly, and 20 trucks running underground in the mine; the reefs, especially one of them, being of such an enormous width that breadth rather than depth gives the crushing stuff. Altogether, reckoning carters, splitters, and others, this one of the urines on the Thames gives employment to over 200 men.
