 encountered, interest increases. The drift is now in about 90 feet, with 15 feet testimated) yet to go to reach the desired point under the winze. where the ore was left when work was abandoned several years ago on account of the water. At the pres ent rate of progress. which is about three feet day, the vein would probably be reached about Ocetber 5.
 Superintendent Richards has decid- ed not to sink stump below the shaft until after drifting some dis tance further. The stump will prob ably be about twenty feet deep, and including it the shaft will then be 220 feet deep.
 By the time the drift is in about 65 feet, or as soon as it has passed through the dike of the porphyry that cuts through the formation, rich ore is confidently expected, for there was high-grade ore-lead carbonates-in the bottom of the 35-foot winze on the 100 level. 65 feet above the pres ent level. There are several other instances in the district, in conditions rather similar. where pipes, shoots and veins of leadsiiver ore are found at depth of 200 feet. just as strong as ever and still going down. In these cases the ore is not always continuous at the same angle for the entire distance-in fact. so fas as we remember, this Is the exception rath- CT than the rule; usually there is a break or fault in the ore at one point or more. By these precedents in this district, by comparisons of the other showings with this one, we should say it is not only probable but almost certain that ore will be encountered on the 200 level at the Leadville. It might not be found di- rectly under the winze, for, as al ready stated, lead veins frequently fault, but there is no doubt in our mind but what the ore may easily be found on the 200 level.
 And, as has often been pointed out in these columns, the beauty of it all is that iead-silver veins of this kind, while nearly always paying to ship. not infrequently widen out into large chambers or deposits that are sources of wealth to owners or stock holders of the properties on which they are encountered.
 Developments on lead-silver prop critics in this district do not give US q line on what may be expected be- low the 200 level, as no vein of the kind has even been explored much below that level (with possibly one or two, where conditions are not similar).
 Besides running drifts and cross cuts on the 200 level, with a view to shipments at as early a date as possible, there are many oth- CT courses that could be pursued by the company in the development of its property, there being numerous other excellent showings besides this one on the claim known on the Leadville. A drift could be run from the present level of the work Ing shaft westward to the Colorado claim, only a few hundred feet dis tant, where there is a promising vein of orc that shows to be about 7s feet in width. Some of this ore is copper, but there was shipped a car load of ore that run 60 per cent lead and high in silver Such drift would attain depth of about 450 feet by the time it reached the best showing on the Colorado. Other showings, on other claims, notably those on the Martin and Hard Cash eisims, from which ore was shipped Gold Coin, Leadf;ic No. 2 and Any Old Thing, are worth developing.
 Or the company could go back and 'ink the main shaft deeper. In this shaft at the present depth, 200 feet he porphyry is mineralized to such ln extent (carrying iron pyrites and l ytained with iroBJ that Superintend snt Richards Is confident the shaft | would be in ore if sunk 50 feet deep sr. The indications seem to be for 1 copper al sufficient depth. If the ore holds out as expected 1 here will be plenty to keep the com ,any busy shipping for a couple of years at least. By that time-if | copper should bring a sufficiently high 1rice-they could, if desired. turn heir attention to the production Of he red metal. The indications are ,or a copper mine, it is believed. as yell as for a lead-silver mine.
 And this was saying nothing about he Morrow & Chamberlain. a prop , srty owned by the company. which has always been highly regarded, md generally spoken of as having he making of . copper mine.
