made In this mine. During the week the
cas-. and west south lateral drifts on the
1900 levels have been connected. and the
needed ventilation obtained for the cross
cutting and developing Of the ore vein In
that portion Of the mine. These lateral
drifts each run in . southerly course. and
arc ct the southern boundary connection
Of the mine, distant about $50 feet from
each other. This leaves . block Of unpros'
pected ground nearly that width extending
from east crosscut No. I to the south line.
From cast lateral drift three crosscuts have
been planned to run westward and reach
the east ore vein. The first Of these, cross
cut Ne. 2. IL s7t feet south Of crosscui

richest possible character. What the
width and extent OF this ore 10 cannot yet
be determined, but tho finding OF ore 90

heretofore developed on this level adds

much TO the importance Of the recent dis
