that the old company worked prev
iously and it is expected that the
tunnel will soon penetrate the ore
body ahead when it will be devel-
oped by drifts, raises and wines so
that the extent and value can be
learned. A raise has been started
from the tunnel to connect with the
old workings above and it will be
pushed through this winter while
the tunnel will be driven ahead.
The other work by the company
this year has been in the Good
Luck ore deposits which have been
blocked out from the $50 level and
made ready for rapid extraction
when the company is prepared to
commence shipping.
