Macdonald vein 800 feet west of the
shaft has advanced five feet and the
vein in the top still has the fiat dip
and is about four feet in width and
low grade in character. The west
drift on the Triangle vein was driven
ten feet during the week and the face
shows two feet of milling + The
stope on the oxidized fault vein in
the east drift on the South vein, has
exposed the ledge for about four feet
in width and is of a good milling ore.
During the week stopping continued in
the central portion of the South vein,
which averages about eight feet in
width of which four feet is ore of a
good milling grade.
462-foot level-The east drift on
the Martha vein was extended nine
teen feet and the face shows twelve
inches of ledge that is of a too low
grade character to mill. The cutting
out of a stope on the South vein con-
tinues and shows about eighteen
inches of good milling ore. The cut
ting out of a first Slope over the tim
bers on the Martha vein shows about
two feet of ore. The raise on the
Macdonald vein 500 feet west of the
shaft was extended nineteen feet for
the week. In the last few feet of
progress a stringer of ore was cut
that is about twelve inches in width
and of a good milling grade. A drift
will be started in an easterly direc-
ton to develop this stringer. Stopping
continues on the Macdonald vein
1000 feet west of the shaft where
about four feet of good milling ore
is being worked. This ledge also has
several streaks of high grade scat
tered throughout the body.
515-foot level-The crosscut west
from the southwest drift on the
Martha vein advanced twenty-five
feet and has cut several stringers of
quartz, none of which carry anv
value. The east drift on the same
vein advanced twenty feet and the
body in the face averages about two
and one-half feet of milling ore of
which one foot is high grade. Tae
winze on the Martha vein advanced
twenty-seven feet and is now down
sixty-nine feet below the level. Tn
hanging wall streak that the winze
was sunk on has fattened off to the
south and sinking has been tempor-
arily suspended while a crosscut has
been started in the footwall TO pros
pect the main Martha vein. One
eight-einch high grade stringer of ore
mas already been cut. The west drift
on the South vein advanced TWENTY
seven feet and the face shows ono
foot of high grade milling ore. THIS
drift has been following along a low
grade ore body that was badly mixed
and the ledge at present being work
ed shows great improvement.
56b-foot intermediate level-The
south from the west drift
the Martha vein was driven thirty )
let and as yet has not encountere1
the vein. The east DRIFT on the
vein advanced eleven feet anil
me face averages about thrse feet Of
coed milling ore.
6l5-foot level-The raise from The
;fosscut south of the shat. is NV
oeing timbered and double ctures are
oelng put in to handle both ore and
waste, The Midway vein Is produc- /
iig a small quantity of ore of d high
character. The two gtreaks !
a V combined and make about ,wo :
ma one-hal feet of ledgo matter. 4
topping Is continued on the Macdon- |
ia vein In two places under n . level 7

rom the bottom level was extended h
Nineteen feet during the week ana 80 B

during the week, but will he C
