PRESIDENT Octave Quay and Secretary Otto the Hypo-
theek Mining Milling company representative of The Miner
was permitted to examine the workings the mine during the
week and the result of that examination given herewith
The property of the Hypotheek company consists of nine
claims located about three and oncha miles Kingston
ana connected with the town by good wagon These claims
are traversed by two distinct lodges both which have been
plotted by the usual work. including shallow shafts tn
neS ana open cuts In the indications excellent
Recent development however has been principally confined to
the south ledge
Ihs has been opened by main working drift Of about
QUO feet in length and giving the face approximate depth Of
about 205 feet from the surface AT points 2 @ 3OO 425
5 and 600 feet from the portal this drift were made
e the walls showing the ledge vary width from two to so
feet Throughout the whole length of this tunnel the ledge is
highly mnerazed and places shows native corpper suphdes
and carbonates although at point these howns COM

depth at the face Of this tunnel is less than 300 feet has
long been established that valuable deposits of the Coeur
dAenes have only been considerably greater
depth.
At point therefore, $50 feet from the face of this drift
station was cut and the sinking of shaft commenced This shaft

During the sinking Of the shaft large amount prospecting
work was done and about six drifts and were driven

The development work has been excellent The main working
tunnel has been recently Strengthened and improved and the shaft
Will compare favorab with work Of the kind in this section
