ere 50 vas, that no other mine In the
camp makes the same showing either IN
the quantity or quality Of the
ore. Under the able direction Of supt
NJ. J. DALEY the mine Is sending
out from 200 % 1900 tons Of shipping
ore monthly. The values run about
u per cent lead and around 30 ounces
silver Nearly an " this ore IL taken
out above the g1)-fOot level where an
immense body of carbonate and galena
ore has been followed down from the
700 level The mine was opened up
from this level ana the ore body has
been proved 20 pass down 10 the IL 200
level II has been reached BY drifts
from the 900 and i,lgO levels Of the
shaft A long drift has also been run
IN q gouthwesterly course from the
1900 but the ore body has not yet been
reached. The richest ore ia the mine
has been exposed this year In an up
raise from the loo level With the
completion OF this upraise. which win
connect with a C0-foot Wine from the
100 level the ore body would seem 90
be proved continuous fer O vertical
depth OF 600 feet. This gives, however,
no idea Of the distance that the ore
has been followed on its dip. The
pitch Of the vein varies within certain
limits, but its course IS very fiat for
The greater part Of the distance from
the 700 10 the 1900 levels To show
how fat II lies between the ! 200 and
1900 levels Supt. Daley says Il will be
necessary 10 run back from the 1900
level between $40 and $50 feet on the
vein IN order 20 reach a vertical depth
OF 40 feet, and connect with the Wine
from the 1900 level, now down 90 feet.
This shows the vein 10 be very fat, but
II is nearly level In the big stope be-
tween the 700 and 900 levels from which |
the present ore supply Is being drawn. |
Between these levels the management |
is now working on It's sixth stOpe OF |
20 feet width This means that Tor 800 |
feet wide a splendid grade Of ore has |
been stopped out The height Of the /
stope Is as much as a. feet Probably /
when all the ore IS extracted the stope |
Will be much wider than It's present
width The ore is fine carbonate. in
terspersed with big bodies OF solid
galena, some Of them showing 10 % "
feet thick The best showing in the
mine Is on the 900 level or the point TO
which the ore body has been stopped.
u looks very strong there and prom |
ises great things for the lower levels
While no crosscutting or Stopping has
been done below the 900. some idea may
be had Of the size OF the ore deposits
when Il is known that on the I 900 level
a drift has been run IA ore from 900 %
500 feet before the hanging wall was
found. But great as Is the impression
given by an inspection Of the above
drift, II becomes much greater when Il
Is known that on the LOO level a sim
ilar drift penetrates the ore almost
continuously for 100 feet before cut
ting the hanging wall IN only one
place does body OF waste intervene
and that Supt Daley says is com
paratively small.

The showing on the 200 level Is prob
ably the richest ore exposed IN the |
whole camp. il assays as high as COO

says are lower % course, but even then

Considerable attention is being given |

which IL now about 5000 feet from the
shaft. IL Is the intention Of the man

feet further 10 connect with shaft No. |

near future. A force Of men IS now en-.
gagged in pushing the Alliance tunnel 20

10 then sink about 700 feet and connect
with the above drift which IL not ex-
pected 10 intercept the vein sooner than
