Mr.. Calder states that the richness
of the strike has been but little en-
aggerated. He examined the shoot
and saw the ore that is being taken
from 1t. The ore first came in as a
three inch stringer, which has now
strengthened to fifteen inche $
carrying average values Of $4,000
to the ton.
The ore was encountered in the
100 foot level and II is believed
that the rich shoot will run to the
surface. The /. X. L. has been mill
ing good ore for some time, aud the
present rich strike excites great
interest In the property.
