be called blanket ledge, and some six
drifts have been run in on it, varying
from twenty to thirty feet each, and the
face of the drifts are from fifteen to
twenty feet broad, and from twelve to
ten tons of ore are extracted daily. In
extracting this ore about five feet of waste
has to be removed, but the rock breaks

to twelve inches thick, excepting one,
in which occurs bulge in the ledge, the
ore being about two feet thick. 1t is
rather expensive extracting this ore, vet
