cool and comfortable. Tho east drift

been extended q distance Of DO feet. at

account Of an insuficiency Of air to drive
the north Alpha drift and the two west
crosscuts recently started. Tho Alpha
drift is being pushed vigorously ahead,

Of handsome, lively quartz. Crosscuts
Nos. I and 2 west from the lateral DRIFT
are In respectively 20 and 10 feet. the face
Of each being In vein porphyry filled with
small streaks Of lively quartz. all Of which

These two crosscuts have been started for
