with ateras and drifts amounting to $40 feet This work
exposed the north lead in the portion Of the property
showing the be assure vein feet in width well
mnerazed but with of commercial value From the work
done there apparent considerable improvement
westerly and will be we'll worthy of thorough expora
on at some time in the future.
During the progress of this work present took
charge of the development work. and after thorough and
careful examination Of the property it determined that the
south lead been specifically explored and that with
systematic development body would be almost certainly
developed.
From some small quartz stringers exposed in the main
the most likely regard to situation selected to DO
the preliminary drifting Work started with the result
the end of Is feet Of drifting the snger had opened
into we'll defined ledge with scattered punches of which
sisted in the ledge until distance Of AGO feet had been when
the ledge opened up undetermined width showing
body distance of 100 feet with streak of high grade
from to wide distance of 100 feet with large body
low grade which has been exposed for width of sixty
feet with hanging wall not found This drift has been
driven distance of 76O feet with crosscu of IS feet toward
1.-The hanging WALL which still being driven and wnze is
being SINK high grade which down 10 feet The face of
1.-THE drift exceedingly favorable formation and is conf
Identity expected another shoot Of will be developed within
la short distance.
The companys buildings destroyed by snowside last
winter and during the past temporary structures have
been used have been let for the construction Of
manent boarding house with capacity of 36 built that
the expenditure of few hundred dollars will give ample for
at double that number substantial structure must be
yded for the compressor building that will withstand des

able for another shoot of this level This drift will gar
considerable depth from where the drift and the
logical conditions farther west favorable for veread
By conservative management of your board Of directors
