Al will BE- seen by reference to the
official letter Of the hale 4 Noroross in
another place. the ore body has been
punctured ten feet by the crosscut on
the 2l00 level. and Mr.. D~eidsshsimer
this morning gives the welcome assur-
auce that there are as yet no indications
Of o west wall. The ore Is Of milling
quality, and running through IL are
streaks which are very rich. Mi.
Dsidesheimsr says that he is OF the
opinion that the ore body has been en-
countered near the apex and will be
found to make down and TO the south.
The importance OF the strike cannot DO
doubted. Il is much TO get ten feet OF
milling ore on the 2100 level, but indi.
cations are % yet OF far more import
anoe than the development OF ore itself.
These streaks OF ore are . good sign.
They are usually found on the top OF
ore bodies Of magnitude. and serve to
distinguish such from mere stringers.
The approaches are good, a. usual when
developments : made through the
hanging wall. The course OF the drill
which IL to DO run on the 1900 level
will DO watched with interest. Its use
il providsntial under the circumstances.
for the mine does not care to DO flooded
again.

above strike astonish everybody. A
