the crOss-cut from the AlcGraW shaft, .
on the 18th level, Is being driven north I
towards the Great Eastern and the Old

the Great Eastern vein
The annual report recently issued
showed a balance on hand on October I, Z
of 1851. 7S7-S0. During the past fiscal 1
year there were over $500 feet of de-
velOpment work done, and the eXpedi- l
lures, development equipment. con-
struction and office expense amounted !
to nearly $500, 600. The cost per foot Of I
work has been high owing to the fact |
that for much OF the time work was Z
confined to shaft sinking. with the /
same overhead expense. Another un-
favorable factor was the large amount /
Of water encountered between the 18th I
and 10Th levels.
