During the past week the face OF the
south drift ON the 730 level has run into
a very favorable looking formation OF
porphyry. quartz. clay and heavy streaks
Of low grade ore, giving promise OF
something better with further advance

same level Is in decomposed porphyry
with small streaks OF Ore. Ground in
both drifts very hard at present.

The work Of development through the
