man on the north is the
Joanna NINE,
Whose rich ore attracted SO much at
tention about three years ago. 1t is
separated from the Aultlhan by a
small porphyry dyke. The late A.
r. Watson was the original locator,
and through his energy the mine was
opened and developed. While Mr..
Watson operated'the mine about fifteen
hundred feet of tunnels, drifts and open
ings were made. The ledge was stripped
and exposed on the westend of the mine
for distance of three hundred feet which
showed the ledge to be very large. One OF
the principal openings, the one leading TO
what is known as the cave, is reached
through tunnel sixty feet in length, at
which point cave was encountered and
the ore vein WAS also reached. From this
point an incline fOrty-iiye feet in depth
vas sunk. At the bottom OF the incline
drift WIS driven one hundred and twenty
FIVE feet II the east, and also another thir
ty-fve feet to the north. Several eroSs-cuts
were nlade.at different places al OF which
are III ore 81 good grade. To the west OF
