aIt IS true that exceedingly crafty

the vein at that level is i'm progress
and the good showing rs maintained.
This Is the same ore body that has
been followed on the 1s00-fuot level
and which we encountered ON the p
0ad-raut level We find the vein wider
ana thr Grade higher ON the 2,2o0-foot

has a-cr been opened I'm the North
