on the Lily for some time has been the
running of a cross-cut tunnel to explore
the six lodges on the property. No. 1
ledge was cut some time ago 385 feet
in. 1t was ten feet wide, with four
feet OF good milling ore. Drifts were
run 20 feet both ways, and the good
value and the amount of the ore was
