The tunnel, as I observed it last week, was decidedly the finest on London mountain. It is five and a half feet a the bottom, four and a half feet at the top and seven feet in the clear. The timbers are fourteen inches in diameter and securely fixed in position. We were entertained hospitably by the old Californian superintendent, Gov. John Sinott, through whose sagacity the Parnell was located. The idea of the governor is to build a wire tramway from the mine down around the end of London mountain, into north Mosquito gulch, where the snow never bothers, a distance of a quarter of a mile. To shoot the ore down this tramway would cost not to exceed ten cents per ton, at the terminus of which the mills would be located and there are now thousands of tons of low grade free milling ore which could be profitably treated as soon as such works were established. It is my opinion that the regions about North and South Mosquito gulches, will, at no distant day, be the scenes of the biggest mining development of the state.
