that point. We have 81 men employed on
the property and are working three
shifts. The shaft will be sunk to- the

cutting is done and cross-cut driven
to undercut the vein that was entered
on the 210-foot level of the old shaft.
Other cross-cuts will also be driven.
There are two fine veins running through
the property and we are well satisfied
with our prospects, which is evidenced
by the fact that we have just installed
an eight drill air compressor outfit to
facilitate development work.

President Bayly, that our decision to
concentrate operations in the Truett

has been taken because we have now
completed a thorough prospecting of
the ground. We have familiarized our
selves with the geology of the ground
and the vein system, with the result
that we are now prepared TO go ahead

understanding of the situation. We

tion of the development of its big prop
erty at Diamondfield, which will be of
material and immediate benefit to that
section of the Goldfield district. The
company has been prosecuting work
through three shafts, the company
shaft which is down 21O feet, the Peer
shaft which is down 355 feet. and the
Truett shaft which is down 315 feet, in
addition to considerable surface pros
pecting. Work will now be concentrated
in the Truett shaft, which will be the
main working shaft of the mine. An
eight air drill compressor plant has
been installed and the shaft will be
sunk to the 500-foot level at once. When
that depth is reached. cross-cuts will be
driven to undercut the two veins that
have been exposed on the surface and
proved at depth. The plant is capable OF
sinking 1000 feet and eventually this
depth will be reached.

found in the various workings and there
