management of a mining property in

q worthy successor to the man who has
been so largely instrumental in search

and a crosscut be run out to ledge con-
tact at the 300-foot level. When the
objective point is reached the company
will have 500 feet of stopping ground. In
the west, or lower shaft, a corps of
miners is engaged in stopping at a depth
Of 20 feet. At that depth in the incline
shaft the ledge is showing better than
8 feet wide and is high grade mill rock

Moisture is becoming more pro-
nounced with every foot of depth gained
in the Crescent-Eureka shaft and leads
the management to believe that water
level is close at hand. When the latter
point is reached it is the intention to
drift north $50 feet to contact with an
other shaft. following the ore all the
way. This will afford ample air circula-
ton in the workings and will tend to
demonstrate the worth of the ledge at
that depth. The present depth of the
shaft is 145 feet and from surface down
1t is streaked with ore which invariably
carries a profitable gold grade, some
times in excess of 800 the ton.
