In ore In doing this work no less
than ten different veins OF rich ore
have been cut, varying in width from

: his expert report on the property, Mr..
. Crowther says;
''The American Flag compares favor
ably with any OF the big bonanza mines
adjoining Il and promises to excel them
! IN richness of ore. American Flag ores
are perhaps the richest in gold mined
Ia the district. The Silver King con-
{ facts are within the lines of American
. Flag ground and present field Of ex-
: ira promise. aside from the indepen-
dent assure vein ore zones now de-
VelOped''
Regarding the assure veins already
developed. he says;
THE veins become more regular with
depth. with ore bodies lass fractured.

direction or strike will tend to merge
some OF the veins together. The Sill
Yer King gold vein is conceded TO be
the extension OF the main American
Flag vein"
As 20 the shipping possibilities, with
present development, he says IN his
report; "A steady production Of So
J TO 500 ore may be inaugurated at any
time, and by sorting, ore OF much
higher grade may be obtained ii

At present the ore has TO be hauled
up a skid 10 the tunnel level, anC
