1t is the intention of the company
to follow this high grade vein just
as soon as the air shaft is completed,
which at the present time is down 80
feet This air shaft will tap the $50
foot drift to the north, thereby fur

To the south they have drifted 60
feet and crosscut a 30 foot vein Of
low grade ore that will run from S14

More attention is being given ar

developing the mine. as this must be
