A, the places showing bigger body of ore the values run about SIS per ton. The finding of similar ore on the surface leads the management to the belief that the ore will be found reg ular throughout the entire shoot Mir Wallace has contract to drive the drift on the ore 2J5 feet farther In the breast ore showing we'll in the horn stoon is being opened there being a break near tha, point The company expect 10 ship several carloads of this ore to the smclter ai test.
