Y tnat We scarcely recognized it as tht

i the mine, except section Of the I'D

Some Of the most important work Of
\ the past year noted was developments

parts Of the mine. In Che northeast

areas have recently been penetrated
by a winze and drifts for the purpose
Of exploration. All the present time
on two levels, there are connections
made between the southwestern ana Z
northeastern extremities, fully 1900
feet apart Important discoveries were
made in an unworked part of the sec-

most Of the ore that is smelted. The
ores are sulphurets, exceedingly rich.
