From Mi: w. f.. Hall, superintendent
Of the Alice company's mines and mills
it is learned that In the Alice for the

On the same level the drifts east and
west on the north vein are being pushed
steadily and some first class ore Is being
hOisled.
On the 3OO-foot level stopping Is going
| on in all the veins. The new or east
shaft in the Magma Clarta h down now
10 feet and u station is now being cut at
that level. 1t is not anticipated that wa

the north vein has l,een worked at oil,
10 that from the 3OO up the Aoulton
stopping ground is almost untouched. On

orr already mentioned Us found ON the
hanging wall of the centre vein contin-
u.s, to yield fine free milling ore, show
ing native md wire silver. This has
continued for twenty-five feet along
the vein, the ore averaging about fifty
ounces.
within the last three days another
! three foot hxly Of base ore, containing q
little zinc and Il good deal of Pyrites of
iron has been struck Immediately south
If the hanging wall body just described.
This ls,.~ ore is not separated by horse
from the free milling ore, but forms one
continuous breast with it, six feet wide.
| Il is . little higher grade than the other
too, giving from ~ to 70 ounce" J"
