Sierra Nevada continues to get from

would bring the Forman shaft drift at .
depth Of 1901 feet from the surface; or.
allowing for grade, about 1895 feet. The

the tunnel runs 200 feet west Of the
Forman shaft. and the distance from the

The new workings in Bslchsr are moi

They are prospectings to open new
ground south and west Of the shaft on
the $40 level. where lies a portion Of the
back ledge never yet explored. There
are reasonable hopes Of success in the
venture.
