able on thessurface. The company claim
two lodges, and commenced the work Of
prospecting BY sinking a shaft distance
of forty-four feet, at which depth drift
was run to the east few feet, striking a
ledge OF a broken or mixed character, but
with clearly defined walls. The shaft was
then pushed forty feet deeper, and Sec
ond drift run, which FORMED the ledge
pitching to the east, but very much bro
ken, and about five feet in width. The
shaft was then sunk TO depth of l25
feet, at which point the third drift was
started, striking formation of ledge cas-
ing composed of blue clay and poTphyry,
and finally striking a casing of slate,
which is so hard that it requires to be
blasted. As the work has PROGRESSED,
the ledge has been found gradually widen
ing, and improving as greater depth has
been reached, the walls being clearly de-
fined. and spurs of the ledge showing
quartz with sulphurets of silver, very
similar in character to the most distin-

this time six men are at work on the
claim, and as soon as the ledge shall have
been reached from the lower depth of the
shaft a larger force will at once be en-
ployed, for the company feel certain of
having secured a claim that by its devel-
opment will prove the oft-repeated theory
of ledge running through the mountains
north and east of this district.
