 Two feet of ore running probabl: or 4 per cent in copper, at a depth of 1855 feet is the excellent showing to be seen this week in the Mo.'ew and Chamberlain shaft of the Mon srch group.
 The strike was made in a crosscur just started northward from the bottom of the shaft. Only a few shots had been fired in the shaft. for the purpose of starting this crosscIt, when the ore was encountered.
 Ore appears along a seam. which Is located in the northwest corner Of the shaft and extends vertically down ward.
 Copper is found in the form of vel low sulphides in gangue Of gray lime. Lime spar is frequent, and there is a good deal of tale present. White iron is also freely disseminat- ed through the lime.
 Thus 1t will be seen that all things are favorable. The gangue is good, the indications are of the best. the copper, while not rich, is of the class of all classes most desired because 1t is most likely to prove permanent and the depth Is fair.
 So much for the ore showing in the north crosscut at the 135foot level. For a fitting description of the shalt as a whole. it is necessary to add % the above this: The shaft was sunk in mineralized rock for practically the entire distance. partly in lime and partly in porphyry, the bottom being now all in lime. All of this mineralized rock carried slight val, ues in copper and through 1t white iron was more or less disseminated.
 While one can not foretell what will be the outcome of this level. un- less all signs fail there should be a large deposit of high grade copper ore on the property. and it is not i'm possiple-in fact, it seems probable that some rich ore will be encounter. ed in the crosscut when the porphy- " contact shall have been reached: It is intended to continue the cross cut to this contact. which is calcu- lated to be about fifteen feet distant.
 When operations were first resum- ed. about two weeks ago, a drift to the southwest was started and run for several feet and some ore was encountered in the bottom of the drift. As this drift was evidently a little too high, being on top of the ore. it was thought best to crosscut northward to the first contact. where good ore is expected. In thIs direc- ton there are three porphyry-lime contacts within a distance of about 200 feet. and the crosscut has only fifteen feet to run to be vertically un- der a magnificent copper cropping that would be a credit to any prop erty. This ore is in a dike of lime, which appears in formation of. DOT phyry. Ore is found also in porphyry as a gangue. This was the case in the tunnel that connects with the shaft at the 35-foot level. Some rich copper ore was also taken out Of de composed porphyry while ground was being cleared for the installation of the horse whim. the ore appearing in kidneys or pockets. And. as al ready stated, practically all of the porphyry encountered in the shaft so far has been mineralized.
 Emphasis is here made of porphy- " Cshowing its value as a gangue). because of the fact that the crosscut now being run will soon be in prom ising porphyry territory. and inter esting developments are expected.
