Secretary Of the Julia Mining Company
Dear Sir During the week ending this
date the following advance has been made
In our several drifts. Crosscut No. ! has
been advanced n feet, mostly through
vein porphyry OF very favorable character.
Within the above distance have enccun.
tered Q stratum Of quartz about two feet
In thickness. which had the appearance OF
very good ore. but on having assays made
therefrom found IL TO DO low grade ore.
Still crowding crosseut In vein ~porphyry.
All looking well. But little advance has
been made In crosscut No. 2. The strong
indications Of water have caused me TO DO
. little cautious and feel ahead. for fear we
would again DO flooded out. In the main
drift south We are making excellent head
way, Notwithstanding the troublesome
ground encountered. Face Of drift Is now
in quartz Of . loose character. All Is
looking well.
