The crosscut west on the 200 level 10
today in 60 feet and il expected TO 60
about 40 feet further before striking the
vein In which the ore was found or the
100 level. The rock passed through 30
far carries better indications than that
encountered on the 100 level, and the
probabilities are that the ledge and ore
body will be found better concentrated
and richer ON this level than on that
above.

The drift south ON the 1900 level has
been driven ~ feet since touching the

place is about three feet from where the
formation was frst encountered. Work
in the face has been somewhat delayed
OF late to clean up and take care OF the
work already done.
The west crossout has been extended
q total distance Of 22O feet and now has
it, face in porphyry. From the face Of
