A second sensation has been created

into and il is quite as remarkable as
the one found some weeks ago. The
new cave extends down some SIS feet,
and follows the ore body. After the
bottom of the old cave had been ex-
amined and the formation at that point
carefully studied the management de-
cided to run a drift around and get the
ore body beyond. 1t was while this
work was in progress that the second
cave was encountered. The new cave
runs down distance of about As feet.
Then for 40 feet further the cave
pitches to the northeast The lower
half is much narrower.
After recovering from their surprise
over the find the men began An in
vestigation. The upper half of the
cave was inspected. the men descend
ing by means of a rope. Ore was
found all the way, the opening being
along close to the hanging wall. The
lower half of the cave is very narrow.
barely admitting the body of man.
Water was found at the bottom. the
first encountered in the mine. This
shows the bottom Of the cave is on the
water level That point is $50 feet
from the surface-the lowest depth yet
reached in this district.
The walls of the new discovery diff
fer from those of the first cave in that
they carry no crystals. This natural
excavation is in the ore body. AS to
values, that matter has not been deter
mined. Drifting on the ore has been
resumed from the point where Thurs
days discovery was made. The Alb
hey property shows great ore body
and it is increasing in size with every
days development.
