The first work to be conducted
viii be in the nature Of prospecting.
IN the northern part of the property.
by opening trenches, for the purpose
OF establishing the position of the
extension in this ground of the main
vein OF the adjoining Helen claim.
from which some exceedingly rich
ore has been extracted and shipped.
This work will be preliminary to
grading for the installation of a
hosting plant, which will be pur-
chased at once and installed at the
north shaft, not far from the Helen
boundary. 81
This shaft, which is now rs feet
deep, will be retimbered and sunk
TO depth on the incline of the vein
which it has followed to this point.
The work performed here shows that
there are three distinct, parallel
veins, two of which stand almost
vertically. while that on which the
shaft has been started dips toward
the others and II is believed that
the shaft, following the inclined vein.
will penetrate both of the vertical
veins at a depth OF 500 feet or less.
II is planned to sink the shaft with.
out delay to tap these two veins and
to thoroughly explore all three at
the point of contact
This ground is regarded as valu.
able in view of the results OF work
or adjoining property and by reason
of its having the extension of the
veins in which highgrade ore has
been developed on the Helen claim.
The latter ground has not been work.

involved in litigation before the fed
