The workings, tunnels, drafts and levels ramify an area of over one mile square, and the abandoned ground is rich With implements of both the copper and stone ages, says the Chicago Times-Herald. The system of tunneling must have been through some process lost ages ago, for there is no indication of drilling or blasting.
