work OF enlarging the main Florence
shaft, the company will be enabled to
considerably reduce It's operating ex-
penses, particularly in ore extraction, and
this will permit of opening within a short
distance from the main workings several
of the best ore shoots on the property,
which have heretofore been explored only
above the 3o0-foot levi. Later this shaft
Will be sunk 10 depth Of 1000 feet, but
the management has deferred further
sinking owing TO the added expense OF
