tirely distinct lead is cutting into the
'haft.' The quartz is a porphyry that
: highly crystalized and is so soft that
u reality it is almost n tale. The
management is now driving a Wine up
rom the tunnel level to cut the body
Vt ore met with in the shaft, hut this
will lie slow work for the reason that
the air is bad and only a limited num-
err of shots can tie put into the ground

1913 feet, another SO feet and the other
