countsred, which 10 known to carry
some good ore. This formation was cut
In the DRIFT east from the incline about
80 feet west OF the Wine, and was eI-
pscted much sooner In the winzs than
where II came in. The formation, how
sver, has taken o much sleeper pitch
than II had abovs-a very promising In
dication. The crosscut east from the
DRIFT south ON this level also enooun-
tered the same formation, and 1t Ii
