On the hanging wall there k a soft layer from to 3is inches wide which averages about Sa 800 per ton ln value. Next below thlS tnCrc is a middle layer or body of quartz about 70 inches thick. which will average about Ts0 to Sl00 per ton in value. The remainder of the 
 ages about S24 per ton. Test holes have been drilled feet deep into the foot wall and all are tn ore. The shaft by which the exposure Of the nature Of the vein has been made k 2B0 feet deep and follows the dip of the hanging wall distance of 10 feet eastcrly and 30 fcct westerly. These show a continuity of vein having the same characters and values deyclop- cd by the shaft. Tho hill rises rapidly both east and west of the shaft that the height of backs on the lode above the drifts k greater than a. the shaft. At point about 90 feet west of the shaft and on q level with the collar of the shaft the vein has been crOSScut from wall to wal. showing it IS feet wide at that point. The ore in the croSScut is of about the same grade that in the shaft. The cTOppingS of the win may be followed for some 700 feet of the Home stake shaft to a second opening known as The King of Arizona Shaft" This shaft S about 70 feet deep. and by means of drill holes the vein iS shown to be il feet in width and has an aver age value of BIO per ton. At point 300 feet east of the HOmestake shaft a tunnel has been made which croSScutS the vein l60 feet below the sur face. At this point the hanging wall vein k IS inches wide and has an average value of $40 per ton The tunnel then passes through 20 feet of vein matter running about s peI ton thence through feet of orc carrying 82S per ton to the foot wall The total distance from hanging wall 10 foot wall along this tunnel iS 40 feet 4 drift has been run along the foo; wall to the Home Stake shaft at distance of 300 feet. and the average value of the ore exposed iS Sli per ton.
