Driving a Tunnel on Edison Claim Near Mena
Workmen began tunnel development on the Edison claim owned by W. L Boyer and H. J. Ratcliffe with Chicago investors Thompson and De Kerry. Surface ore tests yielded 6.70 per ton in gold and silver, guiding plans to install machinery as the tunnel reaches 500 to 600 feet below the top. Located six miles south of Mena, one mile east of the new smelter, deeper tunneling is hoped to increase richness and justify further investment.
