On the 2l00 level Of the old mine the
drift north from the Wine. toward the
Confidence ground. is in 40 feet; face
in quartz and porphyry Of a favorable
character. Further progress in that d.
rection Is suspended. as q seepage OF
water was coming in. and II was thought
advisable to properly timber and secure
the drift before driving further ahead.
The new shaft has to-day attained the
depth Of 222s feet, and has just 81 feet
further TO 90 to reach It's connection
with the drift east on the 1900 level OF
the old mine. This drift was completsd
to q point Immediately beneath the SHAFT
several months ago. The connection
will be completed BY the middle Of the
coming month.
Four crosscuts are being run, two east
and two west, on the 1900 level. These
crosscuts show the ledge 10 DO wide,
well defined and OF q very fine character.

in the face OF this drift shows q steady
improvement as the work advances.
