During the summer and early fall Of
1908. Jesse Knight entered into negotia-
tions with your predecessor, the Opex
Mines company, for the purchase of

was effected, your corporation organized

feet eastcrly for the Emerald company
and 1867 feet westerly for tho Southern
Eureka and Eureka Swansea companies,
for which We received the amounts
shown In detailed statement OF receipts
and expenditures.
In March. 1910. the drift north u the
shaft at distance OF about 500 feet hay !
ing reached the diagonal side line of the
Anandale-Harrisop clal alms-it was sus-
ager of mines for the Knight Investment
company, that We rent diamond drill
and endeavor to locate by series of
drill holes the ore body Of our neighbor
TO the north. with the View of tracing |
it within the Opex lines il possible, This |
WAS done, a station cut and timbered |
and on March 2S the work was COM
menced with three shifts running. Mine
holes were driven from 200 TO 1913 feet in
depth. a total OF 250I feet-two OF which |
entered ore at distance of forty feet
apar, at their bottom depths, During the
progress Of this work raise had been
put up from the 2000-foot level a dis
tance of sevcnty-five feet and level
driven on our side line over and beyond !
ing drilling operations crosscnt was
driven distance OF 139 feet and the
orc found by the drill work disclosed;
A connection was then made by the
placed in the crosscut near our side
line
Long ScaSch for Ore.
In the thus far vain endeayor TO find
this ore body within the northern limits
OF the opeN, 9l4 feet OF raises were put
up. which. owing TO the crushed condi-
ton OF the lime and continuity to pipes
Of disintegrating lgneous rock. were
bored and Jagged. and 1891 feet Of levels
were run tlicrefrom All materials,
chimes, steel explosives. rail and pipe,
had to be raised from the 2ooo level by
hand carrying distances from IS TO aOo
feet the major portion requiring two
HITS. Much OF this work was donel an
ticlpato OF ore being found by the dis-
mond drilling, and during Its progress

cost was excessive. drifting being $3.50
per foot and raising costing $3.50 per
