The annual report of Tony jacobson.

the operations of the company during
the past year. from which the following
is taken
During the year there has been
min/l $780, tons of first class ore
which had, according to smeter re-
turns. IN average moisture of 81 per
cent or this amount there has been
settled for by the smelter 6,134.6 tons
dry weight, for which we received the
age value per ton of SAC. 3S. There are
still on hand at the mine $50 tons net
weight, which. according to mine AS
says, is worth S65 per ton. There was
also mined 1929 tons OF milling ore.
of gross value of s1l.15 per ton.
There has been run during the year
a total of 1904 feet of tunnels. drifts
and crosscuts; 2s3 feet of shaft sink
Ing and 5S2 feet of upraises, making
the total development work 4124 feet,
at an average cost OF Sl6.99 per foot.
This development work has been very
satisfactory and at no time in the
mines past history has II looked more

Ing therefrom, large bodies Of first
class ore have been opened both on the

has been done, but there is still a
large reserve on these levels.
After driving the Garfield drift 90

encountered. also some ore of a milling
grade. At this point a large station
was cut, hoist and skip installed and
