time on the mine would be worked in

was expected the drift would cut into the
ledge almost at any shift, but day be-
broke into the cross cut, more than the
pump could handle. and 1nother boiler
will have TO be nut in before work can
be resumed. From all indications the
face of the cross cut was very near the

in at the face occurred and it is Believed
that the formation broke clear to the
vein.
