slopes on the Windlass vein and are
somewhere about so feet below the 210
level. The ore in this section becomes
commercial solid sulphide ore, and at the
$50 the vein is from s to II feet wide.
on the 45O level the same raise is
continued a little farther east. but 1t IS
called the No. IL. The ore body is the
came one, the same vein passing east
ward from the foot of the Y raise to the
top of the No. IL raise which comes on
down through to the 60o-foot level at
about 80 feet. Below the $50 there is a
drift to the west 30 feet long which ex-
poses very high grade ore. There IS con-
siderable copper glance in this ore n
the quantity of the ore is better IN TINS
particular streak. Below the 6OO-foot
level there has been no continuous con-
nection on this same vein, but the loen-
tity of the ore bodies and the slopes IN
the 700 has been established by actual
connection further west. l may also say
that the same vein traced down tnrousn
the Y raise connects just at the 2lO lever
by means of slopes which are mucn
larger as they go deeper; that is, the
large slopes that we see to the north OF
the Windlass vein. In other WORDS, the
vein streaks from the $50 level drop into
the larger slopes that lie to the norm
by actual physical connection. Inc ore
bodies that lie still further to the north
are connected by numerous slopes, hlgner
IN in the 400 level and slopes above the
400 level. ~

Under the $50, which would make 1t 80 to

Rarus. This drift takes one furtner west
than anything there Is on the Harus. Inc
$50 level was stopped at the Youngstown
Rarus compromise end line, and there IS
therefore no ore connections traversable
further west. Cross section IT. is practl-
callv IN a. plane with the Harris & Lloyd
tunnel. crossing the southwest corner OF
the Rarus and through smart NO. 8,
which is at the west ed OF the Karus;
View there are Slopes extending on COM
, ,nerc;al ore some distance above, and the
! raise nut up by the Boston & Montana
company connects with the Harris &
Lloyad tunnel. This is a continuous vein
, of payable suiphide ore and extends to
a point about 1875 feet below the Harris
; E. Lloyd tunnel. Passing then on oxl-
! idized vein material up through the Har-
! ris & Lloyd, there is a large vein on
which a drift has been driven a. short dis
: lance. 1t is a large, strong vein. The
raise l have been describing comes up on
the west side Of the tunnel. The other
; raise starts on the east side of the tunnel,
; going, up on the same vein. which is
! strong and we'll defined, to a point about
' 60 or 70 feet under the floor of the 200
level. There the main vein streak be-
: comes sleeper inc is picked up. The
: vein is traceable from this connection
1 right up through to the 200 level and on
: through a raise to the 100 on the same
. vein streak. Both the Rarus and Johns
! town veins seem to steepen as they com
nearer to the north connecting vein. In
: the upper portion of the surface at this
west end the vein at the 100 level consists
I of several streaks and one of them is
. found in the No. 3 shaft at this level
but the streak that has been followed
