Everything has been put in good CON-
dition on the 5000 level and work re-
sumed in the south DRIFT. The diamond
drill Is once more trying the formations
east on this level. The Aow Of water
will doubtless be somewhat less from
| this direction than when the drill was
last sent in. Working on the 2760 level
to get connection with the drift formerly
run north in the ore vein. This con-
nection is needed for ventilation for
prospecting further on this level.
