The mines are worked from the 200 to the 600 foot level and tests have been made which cftrows that the copper goes down far below. Entering the shaft, we dropped to the four-hundred-foot level, and then took the electric trolley which carries the ore through the narrow tunnels to the shaft.

The tunnels are so small that we could barely stand upright within them, and from the center of the track one could easily reach the sides of the walls. Some of the tunnels are timbered with Peruvian eucalyptus, or with Oregon pine, but everywhere the work 1 so scientifically done thait the rock In most cases upholds the walls.

Everything la managed after the most Improved mines of the states, and this same plan Is preserved in all the operations of the work.

The whole of the underground workings are a beehive of Industry and the work of yetting out tne copper goes steadily on without friction.

The mines are so arranged that the cars are loaded by trravlty, and the mining Is most economically done. In going through the tunnels we need acetylene, the carbide for which comes from the United States, and every miner we met had an acetylene lamp on his cap. The managers find that this Is much cheaper than candles. The mines are worked by electricity which is now generated by steam, but the company Is Installing a great electric plant at Oroya, about seventy-five miles away, where they own a stream with a fall which will generate about 15,000 horsepower. Within a short time all of their works here and at the great smelter and also at the associate mines of Morococha will be operated by the fall of this river.

At present the steam Is produced by coal from the company's coal mines, which are about twenty-five miles from Cerro de Pasco.
