the use Of term which implies submis-
sion on the part Of Canada TO the power

piCh Strike
at Rdwhide

The workings of the Murray lease,
Of the Rawhide Mining and Reduc-
ton company, on the Consolidated
estate, a into a stringer of quartz
rock this week that was almost the
'pure quill" and the most gratifying
part about the ore was the fact OF
its solid formation and that the gold
was we'll inside the rock matter. The
management Of the Murray was not
expecting to encounter picture rock
at this point, in their crosscut to the
east from the 20O-foot station, as
according to the indicated dip of
their big vein of ore, which they
have on the 100-foot level, they had
not contemplated striking vein mat
ter for several feet yet in their lower
workings. 1t is their opinion that
this high grade stringer is a shoot
off the main vein. In their east
crosscut at the 100 level they have a
vein of quartz ore of from seven to
eight feet wide, which will average
across the whole around $40 to the
