The southeast crosscut from tho main
east DRIFT at the second station Is In 90
feet, cutting through the ledge, which
at this point Il ~ feet In width. Of low
grade ore. The course OF the DRIFT has
been changed more to the eastward 50
to follow the tlne Of the ledge and
prospect It ut convenient intervals BY
running crosscuts.
Lever Comstsck.
The shaft Is down 100 feet, the con-
tract for sinking to THAT depth being
flushed. Another contract will be let
and the sinking resumed In q very
short time. This Is au excellent loca-
ton, and when the ledge Is reached
will no doubt richly reward Its owners
Tor their outlay.
