regarding the work done during tho past
year has boen prepared in pamphlet form,
and mailed TO tho stockholders of that
company This report Is OF great interest
both to the stockholders of tho DAILY West
company and the general public, who have
watched the progress OF this company.
The report in part is as follows
Amount of Ore Extracted.
During the year 1905 there were mined
80 322 tons of second-class ore from the
Daly West workings. $50 tons were
trammed from the Quincy second-clasS
ore dump to the mill and 100 tons were
mined and hoSted from the quincy work
ines. making a grand total of llO.i927
tens Of second-class ore mined and milled
during the year The total output OF
trst-class ore was 1898 tons. dry weight.
or which 1872 tons were mill flrst-cIass
and 10 3 tons were Quincy firSt-class.
I'm the quincy 5S2,9 feet OF drifts and
50 feet OF raises were driven for the pur-
pose OF exploration. In the old work
ings between the third and fourth levels,
1850 tons OF second-class ore were mined
and holsted through the Quincy shaft,
and from there 1t was sent by gravity
tr&mway to the DAILY West mill. The
mining Of second-class ore in the Quincy
continued until the end OF November, but
had to be discontinued on account OF the
heavy snowfall, which put the surface
tramway out of commission
OliSeH Oul ny "aleI'
after the cavern In the ontario drain
tunnel an attempt was made To sink the
main shaft from the 1900 to the 100 level
with the pumping equipment we had at
the mine. After getting to a depth OF
thirty feet below the 1000 level the water
increased so materially that the pump
could not handle the water To continue
sinking would require very much larger
pumping equipment and besides at the
rate at which the water was rising in the
Ontario shaft at the time 1t a ques-
ton whether we could reach the 100 level
before the water would be backed up to
that level In the Ontario drain tunnel.
Moreover. II. after reaching the 100 level
by installing the necessary pumping plant,
the Ontario was not successful In drain
ing off the water IL would be only
matter of a short time until we would be
drowned out
Had to Abandon Sinking.
Under these conditions 1t was decided
TO abandon sinking for the present and TO
await developments In the Ontario drain
tunnel On the 900 level and above, 1852
feet OF development and exploration work
has been done consisting Of 551O.4 feet OF
drifting. lS2 feet of raising and 252S feet
of sinking
Work on Back Vein.
Back Vein: on This voln we have a
shoot of ore 10 feet long with an average
width of four feet and have raised
through II for a distance OF 165 feet
About 10 per cent of this ore can be mined
for first-class Easterly. along this vein
"a drift so feet has been driven, opening
up about loo feet OF ore, two feet wide or
which per cent is flrst-class ore A
winZe on this vein has been sunk to q
depth OF 100 feet In ore all the way and
a drift easterly from the bottom was in
ore for a distance of 40 feet Beyond the
Back Vein, the No l south croSscut has
been advanced n5 feet toward q parallel
flssure known as the Little Bell assure.
A distance Of 365 feet yet remains TO be
driven before the assure Will DC reached.
Crosscutting on 12OO-Foot Level.
cut has been extended distance OF 81 /
feet This crosscut will have To be driven
about 269 feet further before II VIII reach
the back vein for which we are driving
II VIII cut this vein at a depth OF 2i6 feet
below the 9O0-foot level, and will drain
the water from the upper workings. In
the Green fissure no more ore was opened
up; after prospecting the nssure for
distance OF 2S7 feet. The total amount
OF eXploratio work done on this level
consisted of 1858 feet Of drifting and 1884
feet or raising
Mill Ore Blocked Out.
"On the l201-foot level 1876 feet OF drift
ing was done The ore between the 1909
and l20o-foot levels has been stopped out
md the workings abandoned. on the NOD
foot level q footwall drift 3s5.5 feet in
length was driver around the Finn stopc
so that the ore that lies under the tracks
between the 100 and l+50-foot levels could
be stoped without interfering with the
trammlng on the 1400-foot level. In the
two principal slopes on this level, name
ly the Finn and Big stope there are
blocked out about GpO tons of mill ore.
Stopping on 1850 Level.
"On the 1450-foot level nothing but stop
ing was done during the year. with the
result that all the ore lying between II
and the 1iO0-foot level and bounded by
No | and No. chutes mas been stopped
with the exception of a pillar of ore be-
low the 1900 foot level. of about 1000 tons
From the 1550-foot level we mined about
% per cent OF all the milled and did
but Ais feet Of drifting and lsS feet OF
raising In development work We have
been prevented from doing any more de-
vclopment work on this level on account
OF the water situation In the Ontario
