Where lntersected by a cross-cut AT

of the Adventure was found 10 be more
or less disorganized. a condition un-
favorable 10 naturalization.
Drifting on the vein is now in pro-
gress from the point Of the cross-cut
intersection, and already has been car
ried distance Of some forty feet.
The breast Of the drift shows improve
ment i'm the character Of the torma-
tion so that the early disclosure OF
copper values seems fairly probable.
II will be recalled that diamond
drilling In 1908 disclosed the existence
of three copper bearing veins and that
in the opinion Of the management the
measure Of encouragement thus ahord-
ca warranted the sinking Of new
shaft. This shaft was promptly start
ed and intcrsected the vein above re-
farred 10 nj depth of S94 feet, with
results quite encouraging.
The shaft is now bottomed nj a
depth OF about 1,iSO feet, the objective
being 1.525 feet, which should be
reached next month. From this depth
a cross-cut will he started in the di-
rection Of Nos. and veins, which
should be reached AT respective dist
ances Of 44O and 10 feet. 1t does not
seem likely that No. . vein will he
reached until early next year. pending
