face OF an abandoned drift that had
been driven a number of years ago.
The resumption of old plans, involving g
the continuation of this almost for
gotten drift, has opened up an i'm
mense and continuous ledge that will
supply sufficient ore TO admit Of unin-

at present, is said to be about 300 tons,
and for so ne time it has been found
difficult to provide even that amount
of ore. This fifty-foot ledge will
easily supply twice that tankage, and
If worked to thf limit will add much
