cuts about 40 feet long have been run on
either side Of the main tunnel at the east
end Of the ore chute, and neither cross
cut has yet found the WALL In other
words, the ore body has been proved to
be more than so feet wide. A cross-cut
has just been started to the south, 100
feet west OF the first eross-cut, and this
is now in 10 on IL feet with magnificent
body of ore in sight, The ore seems TO
be quite uniform in character. 1t carries
a certain amount OF waste, but taken as
whole it carries high values in both gold
and copper. The gold-bearing substance
is sort of rotten black quartz. Small
pieces of pure sulphide, showing much
copper, are scattered through the entire
mass. Nothing quite like it has before
been seen in the camp"
