station. The ledge seemed to apex
in the crosscut and on the floor the
walls are well defined, showing
strong body OF sulphide ore, similar
to that OF the Montana, and carrying
values OF fair grade. The strike,
while not unlocked for, is regarded

dip prove regular, at distance of
100 to 200 feet from the mouth OF the
tunnel, and at depth Of from $50 to
200 feet from the surface. The tun-
mel is now in little more than twenty
feet and in passing through the form
