Berners B«# 6eM Mines. Indiana capitalists have a great deal of aHh in the Berners bay district.

In addition to this a tunnel 7x8 feet has Men driven at right angles through the xnnpanvs properties. A road has been tmilt for half a mile and fifteen substantial br idges bare been erected. The immediate work consists in driving ;be tunnel in until its length is 1,5Q0 feet, his will tap the lurthest ledge, and give Hoping ground for 3,000 feet above, several of the veins have already been cut ind many more which appear on the surface will be intersected as the tunnel ;*roqeeds. A large stamp mill has bean ordered and rill soon arrive on the ground and be placed in the buildings prepared for it. The men in charge of the company’s local affairs deserve great credit for the irnount of work accomplished in so short a time, barely two months ago nothing was touched and now the property is rapidly ttehig brought into a condition to produce bullion.
