ment of the Ophir tonight report ore in the
east cross-cut joint with the California 1000
foot level. The cross cut is, however, 40 feet
north of the line. Not enough has been done
in the cross.cut yet to tell what the strike
will amount to, but it is in the same vein in
which California found ore, drifting north or
the level above. The management says il
will take long time yet to develop this ore
body, and tell what it amounts to, bu. the
opinion is that it will help the situation out
