the 20 tackier closeout, and an end driven seat on the manse
for shout 2 lachters. The lode at this point is unproductive,
end we have about 7 haters more to drive to reach the god*
of ore which is so productive in the level above. The end
driving east at the 10 hatter level on the aboverromed lode
is at present unproductive, but we here eight stopee at work
in the back of the same which will yield on an average 2i
tone of silver lead ore per Molitor ; and I am also glad to say
that the sink ping down from the bottom of this level to
meet the end coming east from the bottom moment is yield-
ing • fair quantity of ore The end driving wed at the 10
lachter level from No. 3 sink on the Dornerper lode is worth
3 toes of Weer lead ore per tackier, and the dopes la lose

plated to the 10, sad we have commenced driving both met

the No. 1 sink. The &Inge west from the No. aby Ws
way of working will enable us speedily to get a level thrash
the whole length of this course of ore, which we csa than
remove by beck stopea. We have driven a moment youth
teem the bottom of Beck's shit far about 4 leohtees, and
have fogad no ore as yet to any value ; but as we are not
yet through the mem of zahowslimed ground I think it
neemeary to proceed with dm drirage a little further. The
