There are no important changes to
note in any portion Of this mine. The
exploration of the 1500-foot level is
pushed forward without any valuable
disclosures. No interruption Is X
perienced In sinking the incline, al
though the work Is greatly retarded BY
the adamantine hardness Of the rock
perforated by this opening.
