of the drift is all in ore. The vein " as
also prospected in a croSScut and pay
streak found to be nearly seven feet
wide. Several assays show the ore to
be a good shipping grade. About so
tens were hoisted while running the
drift, and shipments will probably be-
marks this strike as one of the most
valuable that has been made in years
! in the district. and should it hold out
I the Giant Chief will take a leading
