from the end of south drift 4 on the 100
leyel. has been extended 8 feet; total
length .26 feet. The first four feet is in ore,
max a total width oil feet OF ore assay
ing $50 per ton; then through four feet of
low grade ore, assaying from So to $40 per
ton, :. At the point where the feet in
width in ore was cut through square sets
:oI beTs have been put in ana we are
now uprising TO crOsscut with sOutl drift
=, ~ feet above this level. On the Sill floor
we have opened north and south 10 feet in
length aud fest in width, have appraised y
t@et, all in ore giving an average
assay value of So 90 per ton. The
top of This opening assays little
better. than the sill floor. From
the openings above described we have
extracted during he week 271 carloads of
CTe-abOut 26S tOns-the average assay
value OF which per car SAMPLES was ST 90
per ten, Have shipped during the week

ore. the average assay value OF which per
car samples was $50 10. The average
