• vistas snob 10 fathoms west from this point, and at the
41.• ad 3 fathom, where there is a good lode gone down
babe bottom. The new gallery is driven 30 fathoms, and
me expect to intersect • lode at the distance of 16 fathoms
illem this point. The ground still continues good for
Irking, with • beautiful dark kills+, and I think there is
every chance of cutting a good lode of lead.
The weather is still very severe. The water-wheels and
separator are all frozen up. in consequence of which our
shaming is greatly fallen off, but the underground depart-
Seats are looking exceedingly well.
