GOULD & CURRY-Brunswick Lode-we have
started east crosscut from the end (75 from
the mouth Of the tunneD of the main north drift

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES LoDE-We have resumed
work in the south DRIFT the 200 level from n o.
shaft, and have advanced it feet the face being
now 81 feet south of the Chollar- n orcross line.
The face is in porphyry, clay and seams of quartz.
This drift is now running west of the streak
previously uncovered, it having been deemed best
outside of it, for the that better prog
ress can be made where there is no delay in saw
ing the ore. and that we have as yet no arrange
when extracted We are now putting in an air
pipe which will give ventilation and aid mate

and level is being north. starting about 25
feet above the present level. AT this point there
is from to feet of quartz. How far this ex-
tends to the north cannot now be determined, but
il shows on the north side of the shaft from the
point where this level starts the surface large
body OF good ore is in sight, and the mill will be
kept running steadily for several months to come.
