Rockford Gold Mining Co. Purchases Claim Part for Its TunnelThe Rockford Company Makes a Purchase on Globe Hill.
The Rockford Gold Mining company yesterday purchased from the Bennie company a part of the Bennie lode on Globe hill which is along the line of the Rockford tunnel. This gives the company nearly 1,500 feet of their own ground to begin with in which the work is being pushed. A good round sum was paid for the ground just acquired and the company expects to make other purchases and continue driving the tunnel until some of the wealth of Globe hill is opened.

1Info Title:
Rockford Tunnel Info Among the numerous tunnel enterprises under way in the camp, many of which have hardly been mentioned in the papers of the district, THE TIMES presents the Rockford tunnel.
This enterprise is opening up Globe hill from the west slope. It starts in on the Bennie lode, which the company has purchased, giving it 1,500 feet right of way at the start. A ten year’s lease has been secured on other ground on the line of the tunnel.
It is expected in this tunnel to cut the Anchor, Chance and New Moon veins, which have made Gold hill famous, and are believed to continue in their course through Globe hill. Work is progressing steadily and some small streaks of ore have been encountered.
The project is that of the Rockford Gold Mining and Tunnel company, of which W. B. Lowery is president, A. H. Weber, vice-president and James Quinn, secretary and treasurer.
