the ore breasts at the 1000, 1l0o-foo
levels bid fair to hold out for years t
come, to say nothing Of the Immense
body now just being opened out In th'
1900 ana I300-foot levels. The las
mentioned level Is but just opened Int
from the Crown Point, and the ore
which Is taken out through the yellow
Jacket shaft Is OF very tine character
and high grade. The drill southwest
of the l2O6.foot level, to connect with
the drift north from the main Incline
Is being pushed ahead as fact as posi-
BILE. There Is yet q little over lO feet
TO 20 In order to make the connection,
and when this Is done the south part Of
that level will be worked to advant-
age, which cannot be done At present.
The incline Is now down 70 feet below
tho 12O0.foot level. In hard blasting
ground.
