The Leadville group was located In July,

free gold and sulphides. with the snow

the gaIena fraction on the Galena ledge.
The LeadyilIe has ledge five to six feet
wide between walls OF diorite and slate
dipping 50 degrees to the north. tn which
is a two-foot pay streak A shaft eighty

to widen TO six feet In many places,

been run 3s3 feet on the wall from point
1s5 feet lower, so as TO strike the line or
the shaft and an tspraise now comes with
