DIFFICULTIRS IN MINING. Im the Dudugue lead region 1: those parts where the Deaviest lodes huve deed discovered, it has beea ound that, soon after passing the cap rock of the (rst opening, further progress prevented by water. The beigns O( this water is changeable, ranging over @ distance of eigdt fect. There ts not, however, sy great a variation {p aby one year; but tt occurs ouly perhaps duriug a period of frdm five to seven yeure There ig cach year a smal) diference in the height of tae water, owing to the Seasons. Some thres mouths or 6o after a very wet time the water rises somewhat: acd, after about tho sane lapee of (ime after adry period, there 1s au appreciable decline. ‘The presence of this water bas proved thus far a very serious bindrance to successful mining operations. 1t is equally diffused over the mining regio, although, owing to the peculiar formation of certain portions o: the country which permits the passage of water, there are totervais at which no water ts found. Such are called dry diggtogs, and may be worked at any season without hindrance Ip the great majo- rity of cases, however, the water bas possession of the openings, a can only be rembved by ‘tifcial means. In a large number of instances, some of tho heaviest lodes bave been run into the water At ibe very point where the yield bas been of the most tucrative character, In such @ cage, the general course has been to pump the mine by machinery, either driven by horse or eteam power, By this means the genoral weight Of the water iv particular locality bas been reduced, thereby silowing tho removal of additional ore, But eveu Ibis method bas besa found ineMcient to reduce the water below & certain point; aud, io many cases. some of the richest lodes ever discovered In this region bi been abandoned ata point where the miveral was d posited in immense quantities. In the Karrick lode, 7,000,000 pounds have been removed just below the water level. at the very lowest point to which it bas been pos- aible to reduce the water by tbe moat poweriul machinery, sbe lode gave no signs of exaustion, but seemed as plenti- ful as ever. Numbers of equally remarkable casos could be mentioned where a like result bas beew obta’ned, not- withstanding she most strenuous and costly efforts. 1 some cases the erection of pumping macbinery bas bi cosuy failure, and in only occasional instances have re- salts been obtained commensurated with the expeuse in- curred. These facts Daving been long wel! understood, it bas been known tbat sone other direction must be givea to drainage, To produce apy other than a temporary affect Dy the use of pumps driven by machinery bas been found to be not only very costly, but aseless. lew of these facta, miners long since concluded that ‘Le ouly effective manner in which the mining region could be drained ef- fectualiy was by @ tunnel, or “level,” which, started at tne foot of the diui, should rup in beneath the deposits of mineral, and thus create @ channel for the easy, na- vural and constant egress ef the subterranean water. THE ADIT iBVAL. Of course to secure a result se vast there was but enc manner which presented itself to every one who gave the subject consieration, Therefore there is no one who claims the paternity of ihe idea, cordod mention of she subjeot found ip the geological surveys made of the lend districts under direction of the Cnited States government a few yoars simoe, Up to the last year the idea of an adit re- ceived BO more ationtion than wag inveived io its mere consideration, from the fact that it was ap undertaking whiob involved the outlay of enormous capital. This fact alone has so long prevented thie plan of drainage from securing that attention which it merited.
