Work on the Nabob property at this date consists of a shaft 1855 feet
sep and a tunnel It's feet long intersecting the shaft at a depth of 100
net and known Is the 10o-foot level A drift has been run to the east on
his level 1876 feet, showing from one to four feet Of concentrating ORE
,pd some shipping orc vas taken out Of the drift. Another drift was run
westerly 50 feet, but very little ore val developed on account of being too
AR north on the ledge. On the 2O0foot level a drift has been run Ito
net, showing a better and stronger vein than in the east drift Of the 100
sot level above. Considerable shipping ore as taken from this drift An
<her drift run to the west so feet shows a continuous vein Of concentrating
r and 10 very fine shipping ore, in place showing two feto OF solid
<alena.
On the soofoot level a drift has been u easterly $50 feet, showing
rood ore values. Another drift was run westerly 1870 feet and a crosscut
un north 90 feet from the face of the west drift. The last work done
vas confined to the two upper levels From the 1oo-foot level a raise was
rade to the surface about 80 feet from the shaft, and following an oe
Moot to the surface III feet This was a continuous shoot OF ore and
bowed a width Of from two to five feet a considerable part u II oehg
irst-class shipping ore. About $50 feet west from the shaft a tunnel has
,een run to the east $50 feet, and a carload of ore taken out OF this tunnel

unne has been run ito the east sos feet, showing from one to six feet of
concentrating ore, also a crosscut south 20 feet at the face Of the tunnel
nd a drift SO feet east and west from the end of the crosscut which
shows considerable ore. About Is feet from the portal of this tunnel a

ance of 625 feet from the 3oofoot level Of the shaft, which also shows
some good ore
~rhe management has started a 5x7-foot working tunnel to run under
he shaft to drain it., and also to get access to the old workings and ore
Sdes. This tunnel will be about 2o15 feet long and will strike the ledge
~ feet below the bottom of the present shaft, but 1T is expected to drain
ne water from the shaft when the 'Chrisonte' ledge is cut, at a distance IN
! about 1900 feet. This tunnel has now been driven about 81 feet
