Of development operations. Three
shifts are to be worked and the propo-

The vein recently crosscut is twelve
feet in width, with eight feet Of fine
milling ore, giving $50 to 500 feet
Of backs over the crosscut. The
company will continue the crosscut
to catch two more veins on the prop.

This Is the most important strike yet
made on the Monarch, the previous
veins encountered while showing fine
bodies, are smaller in dimensions.
The present tunnel Is in 500 feet and
will be the main working level.
Drifting can be carried on either way
